So our first week was busy! We met our host families, which for me, was matched perfectly. We had several orietnation workshops, and we did various outings to the souq (a market), City Center (mall), and two tourist attractions: The Grand Mosque, and Al Alam Palace.
The beautiful Grand Mosque that can hold 20,000 worshippers. It has breathtaking wood carvings, mosaic ceilings, and stained glass windows.

| For the purposes of respect all visitors to the Mosque must cover their hair and wear conservative clothing. |
