The mosque was constructed by over 6,000 craftsmen, took 6 years to build, and it features the tallest minaret in the world at 689 feet tall. This mosque may be the most beautiful building I have ever seen. Hover over the images to see the captions. Click on any photo to view them in slideshow format.
