conservative and grandiose
Conservative against the background of all the other huge futuristic buildings, but grandiose, in view of their size. A beautiful mosque, not far from which they sell zamzam water. For those interested or religious it will be interesting.→

Architecture
Impressive Islamic architecture, a double feeling after this kind of beauty, cannot be expressed in words. But I liked it, very beautiful, unusual. Worth a look and a visit for believers. Many consider this mosque a business card, a symbol of Sharjah.→

Huge mosque
This is a hefty mosque built according to the design of the Turk, who won the tender organized by King Faisal. Tourists and believers flock here. The building can accommodate about 3 thousand people! The sizes are amazing. And the surrounding area is also a nice place. Only believing Muslim men can go inside. So you only have to admire the appearance.→
