Teave
Kiired faktid: Peamine palvivaip on maailma suuruselt teine ühest tükist vaip, kaaludes 21 tonni, mille 600 Iraani naist sõlmisid käsitsi nelja aasta jooksul. Sees rippub viis lühtrit, millest suurim asub peamises palvesaalis, olles 14 meetrit kõrge ja kaaludes 8,5 tonni, valmistatud Swarovski kristallidest ja 24-karaadise kullaga kaetud.
Esiletõstmised: Astu peamisse palvesaali ja vaata alla: vaip katab 4343 ruutmeetrit ühes tükis, värvipaletiga, mis sõltuvalt kellaajast ja valguse nurgast läbi kristall-lühtrite peenelt muutub. 35 ust on nikerdatud tugevast tiikpuust keerukate messingist sisestustega ning igaüks neist avaneb erineva mosaiikplaatidega kaetud sisehoovi, mis peegeldab muutuvat taevast.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Women must cover hair, arms, and legs; abayas are available to borrow at the entrance if you forget. Skip the guided tour and wander the courtyards first, then head inside when the crowd clears around 10:30 AM. The best photo spot is the reflection pool at the far end of the courtyard, shooting back toward the main dome. Remove shoes before entering the prayer hall, and bring socks because the marble floor gets cold even on hot days.
