I always wondered if it ever stood as an annoyance to non-muslims. To me it was more than just a call to prayer, it also became a nice clock for me. You must know it, most arabs don't tell the time when talking to each other, instead they mention the prayer and watch out for the call to prayer to know the time. its funny, but cool!
While I was there, I took some more pictures of other beautiful mosques. They aren't very detailed, but I'll see if I can fit them in a post for the community, later.
It took some time getting used to it at first but after a while it became a clock for us as well that it was natural to hear them in different times of the day even during religious occasions. That was one of my regrets, I was too focused on work, I didn't really pay much attention to mosques and other buildings since they were there everyday. Hopefully we get to visit again one day and see UAE how it has evolved since we left.
