The mosque is located in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan which is also called the "Red City" due to its bright red sandstone buildings that cover almost every part of this city like houses or shops.

The main dome of this mosque has been built on a high platform that stands about 15 feet above ground level. This platform also serves as an entrance to the building from outside, allowing visitors to enter without going through any other areas of the mosque first.
The interior space is divided into three sections: prayer hall (khana), ablution room (wash), and vestibule (mashraf). The whole place has been covered with beautiful mirrors which reflect sunlight onto people performing their prayers inside it during summertime when there are no windows left open due to heavy rains outside!
The green dome was designed to contain a second smaller dome.
The dome is the largest in the world and is made of marble. It's also one of the most expensive domes ever built, at $1 billion. The dome itself weighs more than 25 million pounds and has been described as a "spectacular feat of engineering."
The mosque was designed to contain a second smaller dome, which would have sat on top of it like a hat. This second dome was never completed because it didn't meet with approval from religious leaders or bureaucrats who were worried about its impact on traffic flow around Grand Mosque Plaza (the main plaza).

The mosque is a popular tourist destination, particularly in the summer when it attracts numerous Muslim tourists from all over the world for prayer as well as sightseeing. Non-Muslims are welcome to visit the mosque which has been built in a traditional style with arches and decorations that resemble those found in mosques found in Asia. It also houses many artifacts such as statues and books written by religious leaders who came before us.
The mosque is open to non-Muslims as well as Muslims who wish to pray there without entering into an inner sanctum or having any contact with anyone other than God himself (peace be upon him). This makes it possible for couples who wish to get married here without having their wedding ceremony performed elsewhere since there is no need for them to have witnesses present at this time since everyone present would most likely have seen each other's faces before joining hands at their wedding rings during its celebration date!
