Turkish Airlines (TC-JDN / Adana) - Düsseldorf International Airport, 06.07.2007
هذه القلعة التركية ، أو على الأقل ما تبقى منها ، هي أحد المعالم المشهورة في جزيرة فرسان ، وقد كتبت عنها من قبل مجلة (ترحال) المختصة بالسياحة في المملكة العربية السعودية
وهي معلم مفتوح للجميع ، بحيث يمكن لأي شخص أن يزورها في أي وقت
كانت هذه القلعه في زمن ٍ ماض ٍ حصناً منيعاً ، ولا تزال بعض أجزاها محفوظة كما هي من الداخل ، فهناك مخزن الأسلحة وغرف استراحة الجنود على سبيل المثال
وقد شـُيــّــدت على قمة تل مرتفع بعض الشيء لأسباب عسكرية

This Turkish Castle, or at least its ruins, is one of the famous landmarks in the island of Farasan - South of Saudi Arabia. It was on "Terhaal" magazine; a magazine that deals with tourism in Saudi Arabia, under the supervision of The Supreme Commission of Tourism and Antiquities.
Some of the Castle's aspects are still preserved until now, like the arsenal and the soldiers' lounges.
It was built on a high hill for military purposes.
This photo is processed via Photoshop to simulate an HDR (High Dynamic Range) effect. The castle's color is white and not yellow.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most impressive mosque I have been to. Well, not that I actually have been to many... I reckon I can count within my ten fingers :D Anyway the grandness is just amazing but the length of queue into this place is even more amazing. The centre section of the interior is the prayer area and only meant for muslims which is why it does not look very crowded from this angle in this shot. In fact it was like packed sardines where I was :D Everyone has to remove their shoes before entering and I have to say the air was rather fishy too when everyone was in there lol!

Hey I finally post a shot with people as one of the main subjects haha! Anyway if you want to be in a place full of atmosphere, vibrancy & crowds, spice market is definitely the place to be! This place can get your adrenaline pumping.. in term of the intriguing smell, rich colours, cool lightings & most importantly the dare to bargain :D Not that I dare to do it myself. For some reason, this store, of them all, attracted my attention right away. I am a colour person therefore must be the beautiful presentation of the amazing tones of spices & gifts which made my eyes drooled lol ! I bought quite a few gifts in this market but unfortunately all gone in my lost luggage when I touched down in Morocco :( oh well, another reason to return to Turkey one of these days again :D

Tourist Trap || When Tripods Are Forbidden
This place might look creepy but it’s actually inside the ancient mosque turned museum of Hagia Sophia. This isn't the best photo to illustrate the lavishly decorated interior of this famous location but it’s still kinda cool. Plus, I really wanted to release something dark and gritty today. :)
Hagia Sophia is an epicenter for tourist activity, so I had to be incredibly patient to get this shot. And since they made me leave my tripod with security at the gate, I also had to shoot this one handheld. All in all it took me a patient 20 minutes to wait for an opening.
When tripods are forbidden, I shoot a lot of my HDR Handheld. I recently posted about My 6 Tips For Shooting Handheld HDR: blamethemonkey.com/hdr-photography-tutorial-blog-tips-sho...

Hagia Sophia Museum (St.Sophia , Ayasofya) was former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul City. From the date of its dedication in 360 until the year of 1453 it served as a Greek Patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople.Following by Ottoman Empire, building turned in to a mosque on 29 May 1453 and remained until 1931 when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
With its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture as it is changed the history of architecture.It was also the largest cathedral in the world for almost thousand years until Seville Cathedral built, which was completed in 1520.
The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 with the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. It was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site.The previous two churches been destroyed by rioters.Church was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.Hagia Sophia is contained a large collection of holy relics including a 49 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for almost one thousand years.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II.Sultan Mehmed II (Fatih Sultan Mehmed) is subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque.Many items such as bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over and Instead Islamic features like the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets were added while in the possession of the Ottomans.
As an almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia (St.Sophia, Ayasofya) served as a model for many other Ottoman mosques, such as Blue Mosque, Suleymaniye Mosque and others.
Taking 18 years to complete, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque for its rare use of alabaster, towers the skyline of Cairo and is easily the most visible masgid in the city, located in the Citadel.
I've seen tons of photos of this mosque for years and, if forced to choose, it's the only mosque I wanted to visit during my trip to Cairo. The Ottoman style architecture and the overabundance of domes is just gorgeous. Entering the mosque, it's amazing to look up and see that the whole interior is hollow -- you can see each and every dome from the inside. How does this thing stand! I guess it helps that it's only 150 years old.
I didn't get to spend too much time in the Citadel so I plan to return (LE 25 for students, that we proved by showing them our AUC ID) and take more pictures of this masgid as well as the other two located inside the Citadel walls.
It was such a clear day in the heavily polluted Cairo!

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque (Arabic: مسجد محمد علي, Turkish: Mehmet Ali Paşa Camii) is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848.
Situated on the summit of the citadel, this Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo. The mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816.
This mosque, along with the citadel, is one of the landmarks and tourist attractions of Cairo and is one of the first features to be seen when approaching the city from no matter which side.
