< p > The best way to describe the Sheikh Zayed mosque would be “ the pearl of Aqaba.” There is a lot to love about this picturesque mosque by the Jordanian seaside, but its crown jewel < a href = "https://picturingjordan.com/2016/10/aqaba-dirty-disappointing/" > isn’ t much to write home about< / a > .< / p >
< p > Originally built in 1975, the mosque was refurbished in 2010 as part of a larger effort to revitalize the Red Sea port city and was modeled after the < a href = "http://www.szgmc.gov.ae/en/" > Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque< / a > in Abu Dhabi.< / p >
