Another photo of Al Mihrab is place found in most of the mosques (mainly the old ones) whre it shows the direction of Al Quibla (it's the direction Muslims should be facing while they're praying).
That one is in As-Sultan Hassan Mosque. It shows nice patterns, colours and even verses from the holy book: Qur'an, still in shape even after 7 centuries.
This photo was taken directly from the camera...no editing.
That was a part of my Explore the unexplored project.
