Karaouiyine Mosque

The Karaouiyine Mosque was established in 859 and is one of the oldest and most illustrious mosques in the western Muslim world. It was also the first university to be founded in Morocco and still remains the seat of the Muslim university of Fes.

This was what I could see of the interior from outside.

I like the lavish interior of this mosque and all the gold colours. A red carpet too boot as well! V
