Mosque GIS (Masajid), also known as the Geographic Explorer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is an online application used to explore the locations of mosques within the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance. This system provides up-to-date information about mosques through a dynamic map showcasing their locations in all regions of the Kingdom.

The pilot launch of this app occurred on August 8, 2018. In its first phase, the launch includes five systems along with their corresponding applications on electronic devices. These systems include the Masajid System, the Imams and Monitors System, the Da'wah Activities System, the Donor Services System, and the Maintenance and Field Monitoring System.

Mosque GIS (Masajid) offers a wide range of functionalities through its electronic application. Users can easily view mosque locations on a map, access detailed information and images of the mosques, and conduct searches for specific mosques based on user-defined criteria. This system allows for spatial searches within regions and governorates as defined by the user. Additionally, the system provides access to various reports generated by the Ministry.
