The Omar Ibn Al-Khatab mosque | Mosque in Brazil

The Omar Ibn Al-Khatab mosque

If you love architecture or are a Muslim this is a must-visit place when traveling to the Iguassu Falls.

Personally I’m not Muslim but cannot avoid feeling drifted to a mystical state when visiting the Omar Ibn Al-Khatab mosque.

Taking beautiful pictures of mosques is easy when the building, its surroundings and the blue sky make such a perfect match! But why use words when pictures can show you the ‘magic’ of this place?

You certainly cannot believe you’re not in the Middle East!The mosque and Arab school located in the same ground were built with contributions of Lebanese immigrants living in Foz do Iguaçu, it is an impressive proof of these peoples commitment to the city.
