April 4 (Bloomberg) -- Some 24 companies have submitted bids to construct the Grand Mosque of Algiers, a “multi- billion-dollar” project, according to Ghoulamallah Bouabdallah, Algeria’s minister of religious affairs.
Three Algerian firms were among the bidders, he said. The project will take between 36 and 42 months to complete and be the developing world’s largest mosque, the minister said to reporters in the nation’s capital.
The mosque, whose construction is being managed by Canadian firm Dessau-Soprin, will boast a 300-meter-high (984- foot) minaret overlooking the Bay of Algiers. In addition to a two-hectare prayer room, the facility includes a cultural center, a library, a museum and a Quran school with enough capacity for 300 post-graduate students.
