Algeria's president has inaugurated Africa's largest mosque after the project in Algiers experienced years of delays and cost overruns.
The event at the $898 million mosque, which has been open to visitors for roughly five years, was mainly ceremonial.
The mosque, named “Great Mosque of Algiers”, is the third largest Muslim place of worship in the world and the largest outside Islam's holiest cities.
The building, which has a prayer room that can accommodate 120,000 worshipers, also features the world's tallest minaret.
