Abstract

There are a considerable number of structures that are spread all over the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia which represent the rich architectural heritage of the Kingdom. But a number of these heritages were destroyed in the past century. This paper presents a case study of Jawatha Mosque situated at Al-Ahsa in Hofuf. The mosque is the oldest in the Hajar region, established in the year of 7 Hijra (628 AD) and the first mosque to hold Friday prayer next to the prophet’s mosque in Al-Madina. The Mosque is currently rebuilt but it is unclear whether the newly rebuilt mosque is in its original state. This case study is aimed to investigate and will evaluate on its context, construction techniques, architectural design and style. To achieve the aim of this paper the authors adopt Case Study Methodology whereby several research methods are applied, such as, desktop survey, interview, and photography.
