It is perhaps the mix of these cultures that makes it such a wonderful place to explore.

It is a meeting point of two continents and the influence of cultures is there to see. We have not been there but hope to get there. Of course the Blue Mosque is iconic and we would love to saunter around in its colourful souks too.Sandy N Vyjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966161478297978550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954769177654888283.post-29595364543859102682018-03-08T15:39:14.847+08:002018-03-08T15:39:14.847+08:00Hi Nathan, thanks for stopping by!!
