On our last day in Paris, we decided to visit the grand mosque of Paris. I've been to Paris a few times but I've never been to the mosque. So, we took the opportunity to visit the mosque :)
The Mosquée de Paris is a beautiful 20th-century mosque that closely resembles those of Marrakesh. You can visit our post on Marrakesh to verify this :D
The minaret is so like the one in Marrakesh!
The central courtyard in the mosque
Look at those wall.... really remind me of Morocco! Very, very nice!
Made of reinforced concrete, the mosque was decorated with mosaics, wood carvings and wrought iron brought from Morocco. It's really beautiful!
Moorish garden in the mosque... very, very peaceful.
There's a hall near the garden... probably for events and gathering.
Dek leka appreciating the beautiful mosque, we were late to catch our flight! Like seriously! We walked like mad with heavy bags to the train station. Not only that.. the ticket vending machine chose not to accept cash on that day... making us more kelam kabut.. huhu! Not only that... the escalator that we used also chose not to operate on that day.... sheesh! Really, really frustrating.... seriously we were so panicking... takut tertinggal fligt! We ended up reaching the airport counter just 1 hour before our flight scheduled. Luckily we were allowed to check in and we ran frantically to the gate which was quite far - Paris airport is really huge!! :P
But hey, we were not the only late passengers... haha! I guess this is normal in Paris eh? :D
It was a full flight. TV broken (no wonder our tickets were so cheap... lol!). Did not manage to book halal food but alhamdulillah there were shrimp noodles for dinner and omelette for breakfast. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for making this journey an easy one... :)
