Mosques are beautiful and welcoming - Tour was great. My tour guide, Dalia, was very knowledgeable. Rich history. Mosques are beautiful, the detail is impeccable and a very spiritual experience overall. Highly recommend. I ended up solo because my friend wasn’t feeling well. Still had a great time and was able to ask the Qs that were on my mind.
