Xi'an, as the primary city on China's silk road, is full of Muslim influence that is reflected in the very unique style of local cuisine. Below is one of the numerous streets that are full of food vendors. It would take days to walk through them all.
The Patio de las Doncellas (Maidens Courtyard) is the center of the Palace of Pedro I in the Alcázar of Seville. This palace was built in the mid-14th century, replacing earlier Muslim constructions and is probably the most outstanding example of all Mudejar civil architecture. Around this patio the spaces with a public purpose are articulated, while around the small Patio de las Munecas the palatial rooms are arranged with a more private character. The ground floor corresponds to the original work of the 14th century, while the upper gallery responds to the reforms undertaken in the 16th century in Renaissance style. This magnificent courtyard is surrounded by a gallery of polylobed arches, adopting one of the most characteristic decorative forms of Almohad art. The central arches on each side are larger, highlighting the main axes of the patio. They all rest on precious marble columns in the Corinthian style, brought from Genoa during the Renaissance to replace the original brick pillars. The decoration is based on stucco, following the diamond-shaped pattern, comparable in style and quality to similar works from Córdoba or Granada. Among the ornamental motifs we see some as characteristic as the shell, a symbol of fertility, or the hand of Fatima, which symbolizes protection. All of them framed in a rich composition of geometric and plant motifs.

The Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall is one of the most beautiful places in Kanchanaburi. Huai Mae Khamin has been a popular destination for locals, particularly during the rainy season. One of the attractions is the tall limestone walls and dense forest that surround the area. The Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall is a moderate-sized limestone waterfall. It has seven levels. Visitors here feel at peace while watching the clear water fall down the steps of each level. Because this is a limestone waterfall, the area surrounding it is not slippery and doesn’t support algae. The most stunning level is the fourth, called Chat Chat Kaco. The length from the ground to the top most level is about 2.2 kilometers, so it would be a challenge for those who would want to climb up from the ground to the top of this waterfall. It would take about 3 hours for this journey. However, the beginning point of the waterfall is not from the first level, but the fourth one, which is from the park. In the area of the park, not so far from the waterfall, there is a tent area for visitors to take some rest. This area is also a good place to see view of Srinakarin Dam.
The Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall, in the mountainous Khuan Si Nakharin National Park, is located in Amphone Sai Yok and Amphoe Thong Pha Phum in the province of Kanchanaburi - Thailand. The waterfall itself is located near the National Park Office. One of the attractions is the tall limestone walls and dense forest that surround the area. The water cascades over an ochre-stained limestone rock face, earning the falls the Thai name “Huai Khamin” or “Turmeric Stream”. The little-visited falls have formed deep pools that are ideal for swimming. Muslim women are not afraid to jump from the falls into the cool refreshing water. The surroundings are very peaceful with dense jungles and occasional sightings of elephants and other wildlife.
De schittrende natuur van Huay Mae Khamin. Alleen de rit er naar toe is al een verademing. Prachtige natuur en schitterende uitzichten over het Srinakarin stuwmeer. Bij de watervallen aangekomen viel het ons meteen op dat er bjna geen buitenlandse toeristen waren. Het merendeel van de bezoekers was van Thaise afkomst en sloeg er hun tentje op. Ook is er de mogelijkheid om een tentje te huren. De Huay Mae Khamin waterval is gelegen in diepe bossen van van het Khuan Si Nakharin National Park. De waterval is net zo mooi als Erawan maar veel rustiger. Het is genieten op deze plek. Het water is zo heerlijk om in te zwemmen. De zeven trappen waterval wordt beschouwd als één van de mooiste waterval van Thailand. De foto van deze waterval is ook vaak te verkrijgen als fotobehang. Stromend van de kalkstenen gebergte valt haar wateren in zeven verdiepingen langs een route van ongeveer 2 kilometer. De wandeling naar de top van waterval duurt 3 uur. Het begin punt van de wandeling is bij verdieping vier van de waterval bij de ingang van het park.

Hagia Sophia is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.
From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the cathedral of Constantinople. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture." It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features — such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets — were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque 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.

The Mohana or sometimes pronounced Mohano are a Sindhi tribe found in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab in Pakistan.
Mohana historically involved in the Fishing industry. The Mohana tribe are Muslims, following the Sunni Hanafi Fiqh, and speak Sindhi. Many Mohana prefer self-designation Mir-Bahar, which means Lord of the sea. They are found throughout Sindh, but are concentrated along the shore of Lake Manchar. In Balochistan, the Mohana are often referred to as Medes, and are found mainly in Makran. According to some traditions, the Mohana are descendents of the Scythian Medes, who lived on the banks of the Indus some thousand years ago. They are one of the Sindhi tribes mentioned in the Chachnama, and together with the Lohana, Soomra and Samma are considered to be the original inhabitants of Sindh.
The Mohana are not only fishermen, but sailors and boatmen as well. Many are employed on fishing trawlers in Karachi. They have many sub-divisions, the main ones being the Karachia and Laria. Each sub-division inter marries, although there is a preference in marrying close kin. They also have a close relationship with the Mallaah community of coastal Sindh, and the two groups often intermarry.
