The latest ground shots of the construction site on the eastern side of Masjid Nabawi…
…prior to the magnificent view from the 15th floor of the Green Palace…SubhanAllah!

…a pictorial essay…an update on the eastern courtyard as requested some time back, beginning at the fence of Jannatul Baqi where work continues…
