Today, i was in the mood to capture outdoor images, without any specific location in mind i set out to settle my urge. While driving around i spotted a location and stopped. With the sun setting behind the spot, few clouds around in the sky adding a dash of colour, was what i had settled for.
As the sun set and the Azaan (call for prayer) made, i decided to walk into the masjid/mosque to attend Maghrib prayers. As i walked in i realized, this wasn't your ordinary modern day masjid, rather an old structure, renovated over time.
After the prayers were done i stood in the courtyard of the masjid and couldn't help but take this snap with my phone.

As i was walking out i noticed this tablet stuck put up on the wall next to the entry/exit door.
Turns out the masjid was initially built in 1900 (114 years ago). I'd expected it to be old but certainly not 100 plus years.
Stranger part is, the masjid is located on the big grounds opposite Souq Sharq and in very close proximity to Sanabel Tower.
I'd really like to trail around and find some more older spaces in urban settings.
