Riyadh Mosque

I think many of the mosques here in Saudi Arabia look amazingly beautiful, especially when they are lit up at night.  This one is in the country's capital city of Riyadh.

I agree with you, Susie, many mosque look beautiful at night; but they don't have to be in KSA.

What, no green lights?
Here the mosques have some green light on the minaret at night. They say it is the traditional color of Islam.

Hi Dina - Many of the mosques here also have the green lit minarets, and as I understand it, the tradition came from Turkey. But that's just what I've been told, so how true it is, I'm not sure.
