The sun finally came out and we were able to enjoy the pool for the morning. We then revisited the Louvre at a much later (and much less crowded) hour and really had the opportunity to enjoy it.

We then headed to the other end of town to visit the Grand Mosque. Capable of holding 40000 worshipers, it it truly and engineering marvel.

They employed 3000 people and 38 engineering firms to complete it.

There are 1097 six sided marble columns in the Mosque, all inlaid with semi precious stones, such as lapis lazuli, red agate, green jade and mother of pearl.
