What people say
Lotte Willems
"Experience the sublime beauty of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the world's largest mosques and an awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece. As you explore this grand structure, be mindful to dress modestly to show respect for the religious significance of the site. If needed, you can purchase an abaya, a traditional garment, at the shopping mall located beneath the mosque.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is particularly enchanting during sunset when its exquisite features are accentuated by the golden hues of the descending sun. Witness the tranquil beauty of this iconic landmark as it radiates with a serene glow during this magical time of day."

"The Grand Mosque offers a profound sense of tranquility with its 82 domes, 1,192 columns, and a blend of Moorish, Mughal, Ottoman, Fatimid, and Mameluke architectural styles. It features the world’s largest hand-knotted carpet and a stunning 12-tonne chandelier. The mosque's call to prayer echoes across Abu Dhabi five times daily, highlighting its role as a major spiritual center. Attracting around 55,000 visitors daily, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a must-visit for its cultural and religious significance."
