<p>The best way to describe the Sheikh Zayed mosque would be &ldquo;the pearl of Aqaba.&rdquo; There is a lot to love about this picturesque mosque by the Jordanian seaside, but its crown jewel — to continue the analogy — is the impeccable Arabic calligraphy inlaid in its facade. Sadly, Aqaba itself <a href="https://picturingjordan.com/2016/10/aqaba-dirty-disappointing/">isn&rsquo;t much to write home about</a>.</p>
<p>Originally built in 1975, the mosque was refurbished in 2010 as part of a larger <a href="http://www.marsazayed.com/">effort to revitalize the Red Sea port city</a> and was modeled after the <a href="http://www.szgmc.gov.ae/en/">Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque</a> in Abu Dhabi.</p>
