The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque is located in Martyr's Square in downtown Beirut. It is also known as the Blue Mosque (it is blue domed). It was built between 2002-2005 by the former Prime Minster, Rafik Hariri who is buried beside it (currently his tomb is inside a tent). Interestingly enough, within yards of the mosque is a chapel, Greek Orthodox church and a Catholic Cathedral. All are beautiful and newly built but designed to look like the old Beirut.
