Foreigners need 200,000 riyals, Iranians need only 30,000!! Its dome uses a very bold method to make it look thin to a fragile degree, in fact, its dome is supported by a circle of brick walls up to 170 centimeters thick, tall and strong, has been tested for hundreds of years. This clever and bold approach is to maximize natural light with a large round hole and some tall windows, gradually weakening the dark blue color on the concentric circle, gradually faded with a soft white Arabic decorative pattern, The dark blue has naturally disappeared completely by the time it reaches the center of the dome. It's amazing!

Located in Isfahan Square, a classic building of Persian culture! Isfahan is one of the oldest cities in Iran. It was built during the Achemenid dynasty in the 4th and 5th centuries BC and has become the capital of the dynasty many times. It is the only way to travel between the north and the south, and the famous artisanal and trade center.
Many of the guides ignored the mosque, and the team tour also omitted this point, but the exquisiteness and integrity of the maintenance are breathtaking, and the golden dome looks magnificent in the morning sun.
The famous mosque is on the east side of the square, facing the Ali Cap Palace, which used to be the royal place of worship, and its main color was milky yellow. The name of the mosque is derived from the emperor's respect for the great scholar and father-in-law from Lebanon, the emperor built the mosque for him to lecture and worship. It is the best and most brilliant manifestation of Persian Islamic civilization. Standing under the dome feels very shocking, the details of the pattern are amazing, and the light is even more beautiful in the morning and evening. Tickets 200,000 riyals. Lonely Planet: Iran is on its dome as the cover, you say it is worth it
After a two-hour tour of the Imam Mosque, we walked through the Grand Bazaar to visit the Sheikh Raf Mosque on the east side of the Imam Square. After buying tickets for 200,000 riyals per person, we entered the famous mosque with little content. This is a magnificent mosque with a small interior area. According to the information, it is a private mosque of the royal family, so there is no tall minaret, but it still has a circular hall under the beautiful dome. The hall is empty, but the painted tiles on the walls, the layout of the dome windows and the surrounding Quran are all the focus for visitors to watch. Especially the blue wooden lines that form the outline of a large arch are particularly striking on the walls of the mosque, and this structure seems to be the first time we have seen it. Tourism in Iran is a city that will definitely visit the Grand Bazaar and the mosque, and both the Grand Bazaar and the mosque are inseparable from the various domes. The dome of the Grand Bazaar is simple and unpretentious, representing the people of the Lower Riba, and the dome of the mosque is tall and bright and beautiful, representing the spring and snow. If you recall the most memorable scenery of Iran's tourism, it may be the dome at the forefront. This mosque also has a basement. Walk down the steps to enter the cool basement, a large space is supported by blue pillars, so colorful only the basement of the mosque dare to use. In the empty basement, there is a counter selling tour-specific architectural models. There are many models but the business is light. Ending the tour at Sheikhrauf Mosque, which lasted about half an hour, walked out of the mosque gate, opposite the Alikapu Palace, which was our booking for this afternoon's tour.
outstanding!a place rich in art, architecture, etc.the way curves are displayed in this mosque is unique!
