The charge to get in is ridiculous. They donot look after or maintain the mosque. These are magnificent structures but poorly kept.

I liked the place a lot; its hugeness, its hallways and big squares. the lights in the hallways got my attention too.

I loved the details in Quranic versus that are graved in walls... It's a place of relief and rich history
