10/15 though but I’m glad….
8/15 – I can’t say that I have visited all that many mosques in my time!
Thank you for attempting this quiz. Trying something new can be quite educational 🙂
only one wrong for me the last one
9 out of 15 right!
got 6 out of 15 right!
Thanks tasartcraft!
Only managed a 6 and I personally know 3. Well, better luck next time
Don’t worry about the score. I am guessing you have been to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage.to know three mosques out of the 15. 🙂 Which is the third one?
The one in Puchong, Malaysia. We call it the Floating Mosque of Puchong to differentiate it from the other mosques in the area.
Another beautiful mosque is the “Masjid Kristal” in Kuala Trengganu. Not sure it’s official name but I’m sure if you google Masjid Kristal, it would appear.
Thank you. I might make Part Two and will Insha’Allah feature this mosque.
Lovely photographs!
Thanks ninaartist!
8/15
That’s good enough. Most mosques have a similar structure. Thanks for attempting the quiz.
14 right out of 15! I just got the Russian one wrong. I’ve been to visit those in Delhi, Istanbul and Cairo 🙂
Excellent score. I hope I can visit Turkey and Spain one day. Visiting some of these mosques is on my bucket list. Thanks for playing!
Cihuuyyy… I got 10!
10 is a good score. Thanks for taking the quiz, Albert.
You’re very much welcome, my friend
