Workshop Note
(FYI) (NB : opposite direction seen here.)
The inside of the mosque where I was allowed to sleep for 2 nights (behind the curtain on the left). I was sleeping on the floor but on extra carpets, it was not bad as an accomodation and certainly much more quiet than a hotel !!!

During day time, luggage had to be removed and placed somewhere else, curtain is normally not closed this way.

You can see the "minbar" (preacher's elevated chair on the right) and towards the centre, the "mirhab" (niche indicating the direction of Mecca, people praying having to be orientated in that direction.
