Lola was wonderful in the manner in which she gave us a verbal description of the history of the Mosque. Like a story teller, she wove together the events.

Soak up the atmosphere of this peaceful space with lots of greenery, and marvel at the beautiful Bell Tower. Then skip the ticket line to enter the monument without any hassle. Follow your guide as they take you around the mosque. Hear about its design, and why the monument is one of the most important buildings in Islamic architecture.
