Katara Cultural Village, golden mosque detail

This was the other mosque on the cultural village grounds, and although small, it was dazzling since the entire thing was covered with gold mosaic. I couldn’t resist posting a picture of the fine detail, it was just that dazzling! More about Katara: http://www.katara.net/english/about-katara/about-us/

The minaret of the golden mosque:
