View of the court, from entry; The minaret of the al-Midhar mosque, is remarkable. 64 metres high and square rather than round, it is built of mud bricks. Unfortunately the mosque is now closed to non-Moslems. (Source: http://www.al-bab.com/alzahra/places.htm) "A mud mosque with a central tapering minaret."
