Great Mosque revisited

I happened to go by one of my favorite mosques in the DQ a few months ago and couldn’t resist taking yet more pictures of it. I just love the architecture.

We were leaving on a weekend trip in a few hours to some subtropical islands in the Red Sea but I suddenly had to cancel as Sahraa is sick and can't be left on her own in the house, plus must get her to the vet.
