The Al-Omari Mosque (Arabic: المسجد العمري) is an early Islamic-era mosque in the Roman city of Bosra Syria. The mosque is one of the oldest surviving mosques in Islamic history. It was founded by Caliph Umar who led the Muslim conquest of Syria. The mosque was completed in 721 by the Caliph Yazid II and renovated and expanded in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries by the Ayyubids who also fortified the Roman theatre and baths.
