A mosque selling shot glassses!
We visited the very impressive mosque in Nov26. It’s a very impressive building with beautiful grounds, amazing architecture and gorgeous chandeliers. However when you arrive you go down an escalator about 1km away and have to walk through the mosque mall with McDonald’s, Burger King and Cinnabon! You then get to the mosque via a series of travelators or via paid for golf buggies- it all feels like an airport.
To make matters worse, when you’ve visited the mosque you have to walk through the gift shop (like at Disney World) and they sell shot glasses!
