Konya is a city of over a million people in the interior of Turkey. A pious city, it is the birthplace of Sufism. In the center of town is the mausoleum of Rumi, the most famous sufi poet. The mosque and attached Dervish lodge have since been turned into the Mevlana Museum.
Photography was prohibited inside the museum. However, since it was a mosque and saw heavy foot traffic, everyone most wear blue plastic slippers.

Immediately next to the Museum was a large and beautiful mosque that we visited. Photography is not allowed during prayer times, but there were always a few people praying during the day.
The interior of the dome was very ornately painted.
A long skirt and head covering was mandatory for Kat to enter the mosque.
