M is for mosques! This one has TWO minarets.
On Saturday our Arabic teacher took us to the nearby Negev Bedouin town of Lakiya.
We drove by two of the town's many mosques.
Sorry about my out-of-the-car-window shots, but there was no time to stop.
We had many welcomes and lectures and visits waiting for our class.
I learned so much in half a day!
It is so inspiring what some of the women have done, together, to advance their status within the traditional, male-dominated society.
More about that in coming posts.

The second shot really stands out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post for M.
ReplyDeleteMy ABC WEDNESDAY
Your interest in things gets us interested too!
ReplyDeleteI love minarets, and steeples, and all sorts of adornments on religious buildings.
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW

You did well to capture the minarets as you sped past.
ReplyDeleteThe mosques look brand-new...
ReplyDeleteNice photos Dina
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Turkey, but a little newer.
ReplyDeletehow wonderful it would be if all the world's great religions could live in peace and harmony
ReplyDeleteVery nice inresting minaret.

I wonder if they have a physical presence up there in the minaret or if they use loudspeakers.
ReplyDeleteGwil, I would imagine they use computerized broadcasts of the call to prayer from the minarets. That would be a LONG way for a muezzin to climb 5 times a day.
ReplyDeleteBut I will try to find out for sure and let you know.
Photos taken by car, but good testimonies of the two mosques.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Not bad for not stopping! I find the architecture intriguing.
