Today I got the opportunity to visit the Grand Mosque and I must say, it was breathtaking. When we first arrived I was put off by the seven tour buses parked outside, but the compound was so big it didn't feel as crowded as I assumed it would be. Of course, before you enter you must be properly covered, so there were guards at the front who checked my attire before I was able to enter. As you walk in you see a vividly green garden that leads you to the prayer rooms. After that, we walked through the compound admiring the architecture of the Mosque in all its beauty.

This picture, along with the others, did not give this room justice.
The chandelier from a far
The gold flakes that glittered as the light hit it made this a site to see
