Close up of the flower patterns -
The front main door of the main prayer room -
The towers with overlooking balconies -
Stepping into the inner areas of the mosque -
mmm squeaky clean! -
Even the flooring marble patterns are all intricately laid out -
The inner walkways with the iconic gold palm pillars -
The holding room before the main prayer room -
View of the roof candelier -
Looks like jeff needs some additional clothing to enter. :P -
It already looks reall good in here -
lets head into the main prayer room -
Looking out through the main doors into the courtyard -
Oh wow! -
and has space for a total of 40,000 devotees -
The central candelier viewed directly from below -
The sights just gets better with each turn! -
The main prayer stand -
The place is nicely carpeted -
Few of the nicely decorated pillars within the hall -
view of the central area from the sides -
making our humble exit from the halls -
Couldn't get enough of perfection? -
and is home to few nice gardens too -
Strange that all the water ponds are all dry -
feast your eyes on these! -
view of the exterior gardens within the Mosque compound -
The mosque also spots 82 domes in total of different sizes -
Oh at least there's some water bodies here -
Fountains are like an oasis here, a rare sight indeed -
This one jumps too! -
Taking a walk by the gardens by the main building -
And an occasional duck into the walkways to escape the burning desert sun -
Sigh, views you can never get tried of -
The mosque actually spots a fusion of different architectures -
namely Arab, Mughal and Moorish architecture. -
No expense were spared in the washing area too, they look fantastic -
between each pillar structure sits a rather neat looking stained glass flower -
The Ablution areas are located in the basement -
Being the 20th century, is accessible by escalators. :P -
The Ablution central drinking fountain -
You need to don slippers to visit the toilets too -
Possibly one of the nicest toilets on our trip! -
Even the toilets are beautifully decorated -
The galleries to the washing areas -
As the sun sets -
The hallways cast real nice shadows from the openings -
Everything seems to line up pretty well here. -
Time to bid farewell to the mosque for now. -
