Masjid Al Ittihad Rumbai is a prominent mosque located within the secure residential complex of PT. Pertamina Hulu Rokan in the Rumbai district of Pekanbaru. The mosque serves as a central hub for the local employee community and residents of the surrounding Lembah Damai area. Its architecture reflects modern Indonesian mosque design, characterized by an expansive prayer hall and a distinct dome structure. It functions as an active center for religious activities, community gatherings, and daily prayers. As of August 2026, the facility remains well-maintained and continues to serve its primary role for local Muslim residents and company staff.
