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.
When I turned one of the streets of ancient Basra, I found myself in front of a wall with some arches and pillars. On the left, I saw columns towering above the stone street. Behind the arches, I saw a massive closed wooden door. While looking at the building, mainly a blind wall behind the arches, and a square tower on top, the door was opened and an older Arab dressed in a simple greyish white jellaba came out. He summoned me in, and behind the door, a large area opened itself to my eyes. I had just entered the Omar Mosque, or Jami al-Arouss as it is also called.
