Supposedly one of the oldest mosques in the world, the Omar Mosque in Bosra is a true gem and a unique moslem temple of prayer.
Adding to this sensation were slabs of stone, used as buliding blocks, where I clearly saw Greek and Roman inscriptions. On others, I saw Nabatean inscriptions as well. The very gentle imam was so kind to give me a ladder, put it against a pillar and let me climb to get a better view of one of the inscriptions. When I was down on earth again, I continued wondering and wandering in the Omar mosque. Wondering about its origins, its history, the books on the small bookshelves, on small wooden stools, and even lying on the floor. When I stepped outside the Omar mosque, my visit had conquered a place in my head as a memorable experience.
