Notes
This may abe the largest mosque in the US but it does not compare to the ones in Egypt. We did not go in the prayer room becasue Julie did not have head covering and AB did not prepare for prayer. But we did look in the door and it was very beautiful with carpets and carvings and marble. Very ornate.

Julie had lamb kabobs and AB had lamb stew and chicken shawarma. The food was good but there was no atmosphere. I guess you can't have it all. It was authentic sudanese food.
