Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque is a mosque at Europa Point, Gibraltar. It is also known as the King Fahd bin Abdulaziz al-Saud Mosque, or the Mosque of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Both names refers to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, as he took the title of "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques", of Mecca and Medina, some time in the early 1980s. It was a gift from the king for the use of the 2000 inhabitants of Gibraltar who are Muslims. The mosque took two years to build and cost five million pounds.

The Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque has an underground tank believed to have existed since the time of the Moors. This underground tank is located on a flat ground beside the mosque.The area was known as Nun's Well, and according to theory, it could have gotten that name because of the nuns from the Shrine of Our Lady of Europa could have used it during early times.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
