The mosque was built between 1982 and 1989, and the infobox gives 1989 as the completion date. The article names no architect and no style, and lists only the type as mosque architecture. It is named for King Abdullah I.

It has a single dome finished with blue mosaic and two minarets, on a site of 18,000 square meters (190,000 square feet). The article gives conflicting capacities. The infobox lists 10,000 worshippers, while the text says 3,000 Muslims may pray beneath the dome, and it does not explain the difference.

The article says tourists are allowed to visit. Visitors must follow dress rules. Men must wear long trousers, and women must cover their heads, arms and legs. A hooded gown is provided free of charge. The article gives no opening hours.
