History

The mosque is presented in the sources as a gift from the government of the United Arab Emirates following the fall of the Khmer Rouge. The earlier mosque on the site was named Dubai.
A new building was constructed in place of that older mosque, which was renovated and rebuilt in 2014. The new structure was funded as a donation from the UAE, represented by Isa bin Nasser bin Abdullatif Alserkal. Its cost is given as about 2.6 million US dollars. After the rebuilding, the Al-Serkal Mosque became the national mosque of Cambodia.
