    Blue Mosque image
    I got the chance of visiting Mazar e-Sharif during the summer of 2012 and I was amazed by the beauty of its main attraction, the Blue Mosque, one of the country's highlights and one of the world's most famous religious buildings. I visited the complex in early morning, afternoon and also in the night since I wanted to see how this place lives in different times of the day. With a heavy religious atmosphere, the blue mosque is indeed a great place to visit if you have the chance. dress discreet. See more..
