Persia
It was noon and the hot desert sun had beat down on me with a dry heat. The walled city echoed with the local Imam calling people to prayer (Dhuhr). Being a little curious myself, I went to observe. I made extra sure to stay out of their way. After prayers were over, I got a chance to explore the grounds. It appears that the Mosque behind me was also used as a school for the devout to study the words of their holy book, the Koran.
