With its serene white domes, reflective pools, and handcrafted marble designs, the mosque is a tribute to both faith and art. You will walk through towering columns inlaid with mother of pearl, admire the world’s largest handwoven carpet, and witness light flowing through delicately cut glass chandeliers.
