Top 10 Beautiful Mosques in the World!

Mosques or Masjids are fine examples of excellent architecture of Islam and Muslims. Beautiful mosques are found all around the globe, with the spread of the Islamic empire throughout the World. Islam has taken its fine culture and arts to those places. Because Islam had reached parts of Europe and Africa, it has left great influences in their cultures, which is clear from the offset.

Tourists are fascinated to see different cultures all around the globe, especially modern and classic examples of architecture. I certainly love to see complex designs which can also maintains it’s simplicity.

Beautiful mosques can be found in many countries, which look stunning from the outside and if you are lucky enough to be a muslim and have visited some of the interior, well then you would know that it is breath-taking!
