Arabian Challenge Day 52 - Ahmed Al Fateh Islamic Centre, the Grand Mosque

I visited the Al Fateh Mosque after midday prayer time and went on a little tour. This building is about 30 years old and absolutely stunning. My pictures are not so good, as light was too intense in the outside courtyard. Well, just a few impressions below: 
In the courtyard, the prayer carpets directing towards Makkah.
White marble from Italy, if I remember well from the tour guide

The interior is very mosque-like;
one big room with dome and a huge
chandelier and circle of lights.
 
 And below, the mosque from the outside
