The Leaning Mosque is situated within the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum complex in Al Samriya, Al Shahaniya, roughly 20–25 minutes west of Doha via Dukhan Road. Its distinctive silhouette is visible from a distance, making it an easy landmark to spot when approaching the estate. Both the mosque body and the minaret lean at a 20‑degree angle, a deliberate architectural choice rather than a structural fault. Built with local Qatari stone and traditional stained glass, the structure combines Islamic motifs with modern engineering, including a deep foundation and 30 sensors that monitor weight and tilt around the clock. Designed by Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani and opened in 2023, the mosque reflects a commitment to preserving Qatari heritage while embracing innovation and creativity. It has become a well‑known attraction for residents and visitors, often included in trips to the museum, farm, and animal reserve on the same estate. It is commonly explored as part of a wider visit to the museum and estate, offering a unique blend of architecture, culture, and photo opportunities in one location.
