Admire the Education City Mosque's design

One of our favorite structures in Qatar has to be the Education City Mosque, which has some very amazing architecture. It must be seen to be believed, but the building's exterior is covered in Qur'anic passages and Islamic calligraphy. Just before dusk is the greatest time to take in the building's exterior.
