Mosque Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This photo shows a touristic view of the Kairaouine Mosque, which is the second biggest Mosque in Morocco. Only the Hassan II in Casablanca is bigger. It has a capacity of 20.000 people praying at the same time which in my picture is not exhausted yet;)
Christians aren't allowed to enter the Mosque but we may take picture of it. The symbiosis between religion and tourism in Morocco is strange to experience because the don't really fit together but still they have to get along with each other...

Hi!
Das könnte auch eine Kirche sein - bis auf's "Betreten für Christen verboten". Unter diesen Umständen hätte ich auch kein Foto gemacht - aber deines ist trotzdem eindrucksvoll und sehenswert. Ja, die liebe Toleranz ... da gibt's noch jede Menge Nachholbedarf!
Nodda!
