The post I am talking about is Muslim countries to visit for holiday . Well it's a good change of location wise from the usual. Anyway some of the location actually had me interested, like the Spain. An extract from the article post:-
Then there is Turkey , the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Here is another extract :-Granada, Spain
Many other eminent Spanish cities exude class, but only Granada has so dramatic a mountain setting, topped by the magnificence of the Alhambra, Iberia’s greatest monument to Moorish creativity. The city was first settled by the north Africans in 711, and by the 14th century Granada was the magnificent final flourish of Islamic occupation. Just under three hours’ flying time from Stansted, this hilltop collection of palaces seems impossibly exotic. Admire it from all angles, then get a close-up of the delicate Mudejar interiors. Granada seems to be rediscovering its north African heritage – there is even a recently opened Islamic Centre.
Istanbul, Turkey
The famous blue mosque of Istanbul
http://islamicholidaydestination.com/muslim-countries-to-visit-for-holiday/This city is woven from ancient threads, a tangle of more than two millennia of political and religious intrigue. The Aya Sofia was a sixth-century celebration of Christianity built by the emperor Justinian. One thousand years later, when Constantinople crumpled under the Ottoman advance, the church became a mosque and four minarets were attached. And when the Turkish Republic was proclaimed in 1924, the mosque was deconsecrated and is now a glorious museum. The other essential highlight, the Topkapi Palace, was built by Mehmet II in 1459 to mark the ascendance of the Ottoman Empire. It reflects the dominance of the sultans over large tracts of Europe and the Middle East until the 19th century.
