  MEDINA AND MINARET
by matcrazy1
 
 

There are a few Muslim mosques in the medina. The city skyline is dominated by tall, always square in shape, minarets (in Turkey they are round). Nowadays, loudspeakers on a top replaced alive muezzines and call Muslims to prayer five times a day.

I packed long trousers to my city backpack to put them on as I wanted to visit at least one mosque. But they all are closed for non-Muslim visitors :-(.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
