this was the last day of the survival arabic course, and our teacher took us to this cultural center, and we got to speak with her friend, the director of the program. it was fun trying to converse in arabic-- whether or not you get it right, just trying to use another language is such a blast.
after speaking, we four out of six students had to leave, so that left myself and one other student, sarah. we ended up wandering around the nearby, super touristy market for a while, and visited a mosque. we also visited one before we got to the cultural center. so, as ashamed as i am to say it, those may very well be the first two mosques i have ever been in in my life. oh well. they were gorgeous. it was crazy.
these are some shots from the first mosque, and the sufi dance despues.
