- 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
