I’ve visited more mosques, than churches, temples, stupas, synagogues et al combined together. Mosques, and their way of architecture have inspired me for a long time. Some mosques captivate me through their simplicity and a large courtyard, while some use the means of intricate detailing to do the same.
There is a sad part about this story though, that many Islamic sites do not allow non-Muslims to enter, hence some of the most famous and biggest mosques can’t be seen by me, but that’s okay. It’s only fair that they make the rules for a visit to their most holy place of worship. Although I’ve missed some for the same reason, I’ve seen and visited a lot many more, so I share with you the list of my top 51.
Hope you enjoy it, and I encourage you to pack your bags, and start off with the one nearest to you, and enjoy the details and simplicities of each of the mosques from the greatest lenses in the world, your eyes.
P.S. The book includes mosques from 32 different countries as well as images for a few of them (specified in the table of contents).
