17 - John F Kennedy International Airport, New York: An airplane belonging to Saudi Arabian airlines waits at the gate at JFK airport. Crescentrating notes that the Muslim prayer rooms are located in Terminals 1 and 4. Though the prayer rooms are well maintained and have separate areas for males and females, there are no particular wudhu facilities though the washrooms nearby can be used. Jumu'ah Salaat prayers are performed in the prayer rooms every Friday. During the month of Ramadan, the airport is known to provide dates, water and other snacks for Ifthar in certain waiting areas. Additional make-shift prayer rooms are also organized so that all Muslims can be accommodated easier during times of prayer. less
