This is reputed to be the biggest mosque in the world. It’s undergoing a major restoration right now so while I was inside, I didn’t really get to “see” it. But I did get a glimpse of the inspiration for its name – thousands of blue tiles adorn the interior as Muslims believe this color has mystical characteristics AND imagine a person with blue eyes has divinely endowed qualities….hmmmm…no wonder everyone was trying to lure me into their shops. Wink, wink.
