Om

Raske fakta: En stor gårdsplass dekker omtrent 276 kvadratmeter og rommer opptil 100 000 tilbedere under store religiøse hendelser. Moskeens fasade bruker rød sandstein kombinert med innlagt hvit marmor, noe som skaper en slående to-tonet effekt som er synlig på lang avstand.

Høydepunkter: De delikate freskene inne viser blomster-motiver og kalligrafi, malt av dyktige kunstnere som blandet lokale pigmenter med knuste edelstener. Ved solnedgang gløder moskeens minareter varmt mot himmelen, et syn som fanger både fotografer og historieentusiaster.

Skip peak midday hours between 12 pm and 3 pm to avoid heat and crowds.
