<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 — to continue the analogy — is the impeccable Arabic calligraphy inlaid in its facade. Sadly, Aqaba itself <a href="/2016/10/aqaba-dirty-disappointing/">isn’t much to write home about</a>.</p>

<p>Even if the number number of mosques in Amman <em>didn’t</em> outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. It caught my eye once a few weeks ago and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafieh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself “<em>Is that an Armenian church?</em>” I finally went on an epic scavenger hunt and found it.</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></description>
