I REALLY enjoyed reading Mai Al Khatib’s TravelWeekly article about Turkey in last week’s issue. It reaffirmed my plans to visit the country. My only problem has always been ‘wanting to do too much’ there – the Black Sea, Cappadocia, blue mosque. I wanna do it all!

PHOTOGRAPHY is one of my hobbies and whenever I get a chance to take an image I try to create a story with it.
Recently I went to see the Al Fateh Grand Mosque for the first time with a friend who was visiting from India.

The visiting section staff members were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome.

We were given detailed information about the mosque’s history, interior, the dome, the material used for construction and the importance of it.

I’d like to share with GulfWeekly readers some of the photographs I took of the mosque’s impressive interior. Hopefully this will allow me to share with others the joy and happiness I experienced there.

People from other religious communities who visit the Grand Mosque will get a chance to understand more about Islam and places of worship.
