Pool report #13 - Mosque visit

At 5:03 pm POTUS and the UAE dignitaries appeared at the end of a colonnade made of delicate arches and white pillars, adorned with golden accents and intricate flower inlays.

They walked towards the pool which was then promptly led away and brought into a gigantic prayer hall. More flowers here, this time as motives on the carpet, probably the biggest your pooler has ever seen. There is a massive chandelier hanging from the dome.

The president, wearing socks since wearing shoes is not allowed inside this place of worship, and his hosts entered at 5:18 pm. They walked around as POTUS was given explanations about various features of the hall.

He then seemed to adress a group of reporters but your pooler was held at a distance and not allowed to go close enough to hear what he said.

Will effort quotes asap.
