Awesome sights are shaun approved!
Which are also all nicely detailed
Floral patterns constantly line the walls of the mosque
Ah finally a sun shade! :P
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
