  • Absolutely marvelous mosque. It is massive and everything inside and outside is beautiful. A lot of people visiting but it has so much space to walk around that the crowds don’t really feel like crowds. It has a mall under it so you can buy souvenirs and eat a nice meal after going around it. The mosque itself is pretty white so be careful with your eyes. As a suggestion, go with white clothes if you want to have some nice photos and fit with the environment.
  • It's very nice architectural creation and design. What a great and Big mosque i ever seen. It's great pleasure to visit there. I seen they keep it too clean and Attractive . And found silence over there. Also their is somehow strict rules. Ladies need to cover hair with scarf else they didn't allow . Also while taking picture also not allowed to take pictures without scarf. Else security will your memories. We visited in day time so now Surely i will visit that place in evening time to see it's glorious beauty.
