This is a better view. The centre piece is the praying quarters (masjid) for the camel drivers.


Looks awfully much like a Monastery to me .... :?

The great inn! Love that place. Was there only a few weeks ago, I noticed they're restoring quite a few buildings around there....including a church if I'm not mistaken...

The design is obviously Ottoman, which derived from the Seldjukids and the Turkic Sultanates in central Asia (but not Mongolia) :lol:

I saw that. What a mess. I hope they finish it fast. There used to be a cafe in front of it where We always had our open air refreshments. My wife was fond of the portions of G and T. Now a re-construction site. :lol:

I am trying to think of any double tier/two storey Monasteries that I might have seen. I cant think of any.

I know! My friend lives in one. Theres even a plaque above her door that tells of the year the house was built.

The streets have been renovated too and they look even better now...well at least her street does. Loads of Hataylis there but she seems to be happy with her neighbours. Then again they're somewhat modern, unlike the vast majority.
