We stayed close to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, so visited it by day and by night; it looked beautiful in every light but was always crowded. On the final morning the pre dawn call to prayer woke us, as usual, and this time, instead of ignoring it, I got up and went to see it in the early morning light. I expected the faithful to be thronging through this gate, answering the wailing speakers that echoed across the city. In fact, it was pretty empty and rather magical.

We got a chance to pray Zhuhr in this beautiful mosque and it was lovely. I am amazed at the many colors of islam, it unites us beyond race, color and regions. There were few worshippers but that was mainly because it was a weekday.
The Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) in Istanbul, completed in 1616, is a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. Commissioned by Sultan Ahmed I, it blends Islamic and Byzantine styles and is renowned for its interior adorned with over 20,000 blue Iznik tiles, giving it the nickname “Blue Mosque.” Still functioning as a mosque, it remains a key religious site and major tourist attraction, symbolizing Istanbul’s rich history and cultural fusion.

Another beautiful mosque I visited in Cairo, Egypt a few weeks ago. I really want to come back here at night when hundreds of these hanging lanterns are lit... I think it will be mesmerizing! #cairo #egypt #rcmemories #mosque
This mosque was completed in 1424. It is pretty far outside of the main tourist areas. Our Uber driver had no idea how to get there! The surrounding cityscape is pretty run down and we saw no other tourists near here. A true taste of Egyptian life. The ceiling is insanely beautiful and I think I was laying on the ground to get this shot.

The design of these ceilings "expand" the interior space like there are no boundaries between heaven and earth.
