| At the Grand Mosque |
Today we went on an MWR trip into Kuwait City. Our first stop was the Grand Mosque, the 7th largest Mosque in the World. First all the females in our group had to don the traditional black veiled dresses ... I know Adam will be disappointed they didn't sell any of these in the gift shop, sorry hon looks like I have to keep shopping at J.Crew.
The main prayer room can hold up to 10,000 people at one time. During Ramadan, the mosque utilizes all of it's extra spaces including courtyards, the parking garage and a nearby football stadium to accommodate up to 170,000 people.
