Badshahi Mosque Tours in Lahore
Aurangzeb finished it in 1673 and for 313 years nothing larger was built: a courtyard for a hundred thousand worshippers, four minarets of red sandstone, and marble domes that turn pink at sunset. It faces the Alamgiri Gate of the fort across the Hazuri Bagh, with the tomb of Allama Iqbal between them.

LahoreのBadshahi Mosque — よくある質問
Can non-Muslims enter the Badshahi Mosque?
Yes — visitors of any faith may enter outside prayer times. Shoes come off at the gate and there is a shoe deposit; women should cover their heads, and shawls are usually available on loan at the entrance.
What is the best time to visit the Badshahi Mosque?
Late afternoon, an hour or so before sunset, when the red sandstone warms and the marble catches the light. Fridays around midday prayers are the busiest and the courtyard closes to sightseers.
How big is the Badshahi Mosque?
Its courtyard holds about 100,000 worshippers and the prayer hall another 10,000, which made it the largest mosque in the world from 1673 until 1986. The four minarets stand roughly 54 metres high.
