Mahmood Mosque, Haifa

The Mahmood Mosque (Arabic: جامع سيدنا محمود; Hebrew: ג'אמע סיידנא מחמוד) is a mosque on Mount Carmel in Kababir, in the Haifa district of Israel. It was built in the early 1930s and expaned by the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in the late 1970s and serves as the community's headquarters in the Middle East. It is known as the first Ahmadi mosque in the Arab world.

Mahmood Mosque is known as the first mosque on Mount Carmel, which was built in 1931 by Maulana Shams. It was further expanded in the 1970s and named after the second Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad.

The grand mosque has two white minarets standing 35 metres (115 ft), which dominate the low-rise skyline of the residential neighbourhoods on the ridges nearby. Construction of the mosque was funded by members of the local Ahmadiyya community.
