The Um al-Tabboul Mosque, also known as Umm al-Tabul, is a large mosque in the Yarmouk neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq, begun in 1968. It was built in commemoration of the officers who took part in the 1959 Mosul uprising, and its design takes inspiration from Egyptian Islamic architecture, specifically the Citadel of Saladin in Cairo. It is one of the mosques closest to Baghdad International Airport.
