The old mosque at Bidiyah, Fujairah

The old mosque at Bidiyah, Fujairah, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

The mosque at Bidiyah is the oldest in the UAE and is open for non-Muslims to visit, which is not usually the case in this part of the world. It was restored quite recently.

Afraz tells me: The people in foreground are wearing Shalwar Kameez, the traditional dress of Pakistan which implies that they are from Pakistan :)

Whilst Ahmed tells me that Arabs prefer to call a mosque a Mesjid, meaning place of prostration. Green is a colour often associatde with Islam, being the colour of the silk robes we will wear when we are in Paradise.
