The King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman, Jordan, is an example of Islamic architecture.
Islam is Jordan's state religion and about 9/10th of the population are Sunni Muslims.
This Mosque is capped by a magnificent blue mosaic dome.
This tower is called a Minaret. Minarets are generally tall spires with onion shaped crowns and are lighted with green lights. The call to prayer is broadcast from the Minarets. If you stand in our patio in the evening, you can see green lights all over Jerusalem. We have many mosques in the Jerusalem area.
