The architecture in the Emir's palace is beautiful! The deeper into the palace you go in, the more astonished you are. And everytime you visit, you still have the same feeling.
Knowing all the history that lives within those walls... It's invigorating!
I hope you enjoy these shots I snapped on my phone.
