Bidya Mosque is the oldest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. We took a drive north up the coast to visit the mosque (and try out my new camera).

It’s a like the Tardis. It seems larger on the inside than on the outside.

There are two towers on the hill above the mosque and a very beautiful view in all four directions.
