Today I checked in at ADEC then went to the Mosque. I had intended on going on a guided tour. But I got there 15 minutes late and didn't want to wait 45 minutes for the next one, so I walked around on my own.
It is very beautiful- and that word doesn't cover it! The workmanship and grandeur is amazing. I will let you decide from the pictures:

| The hooded menace! lol! I only needed a shayla (hair covering) but they didnt have separate shaylas from abayas (head to toe dress covering). It was a tad warm! |
