Originally constructed in 1935 in a spacious area of Doha, the Bin Obaid Khamis Bin Abdullah Al-Sulaiti Mosque is now nestled among large, modern buildings in a commercial district. It is divided into a prayer hall and a courtyard.

The courtyard wall was reconstructed in 2015, when a house for the Imam and a new ablution area were also added. On the southeast corner of the courtyard the original minaret of the mosque still stands. It is about five metres high, cylindrical in shape, and rests on a round base surmounted by a portable dome with six columns. As for the outer prayer hall, ten openings with ornaments separate it from the courtyard and three doors lead to an inner prayer hall. The mihrab of the mosque is in the form of a semicircle and topped by a pointed dome.
