Friday Mosque, Herat



The mosque in Herat is called the “Friday mosque.” It’s one of the most famous tiled mosques in the Islamic world and it’s beautiful!! The courtyard inside is cool marble, with men sitting and lying everywhere – chatting, sleeping, reading. The tiled mosaics are stunning. It was a treat to walk around it and relax for a short while!
