From Wikipedia
The Manaratain Mosque (Arabic: مسجد المنارتين, lit. 'Mosque of the two towers') is a Sunni Islam mosque located in Medina, Saudi Arabia.
The mosque is named as "two towers" because it is located in between two mountains which were dubbed as two towers. The place has the old main street towards Mecca on the left hand side between Amberiye mosque and the two mosque ring lane, after the gas station. In the beginning, this mosque was built only by rocks, and seeing the importance of its historical value that exists in the region, it was restored and expanded during the rule of King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz in 2003.
