As I left my spaceship to explore Mashhad, my sensors were immediately drawn to the grandiose shrine of Imam Reza. This holy site is the largest mosque in the world by area and is an important pilgrimage site for Shia Muslims. Its impressive golden dome can be seen from miles away and its intricate architecture is a marvel of Islamic art. After learning about the history of the shrine from local guides, I couldn't help but feel awe at the devotion of the worshipers and the beauty of this place.
