Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

A majestic structure nestled amid skilfully manicured gardens, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is an impressive landmark in the beautiful city of Abu Dhabi. It is one of the largest mosques in the world. One can best enjoy the beauty of this structure with 45 to 60 minutes of guided tours (available in English and Arabic) available for Muslims and non-Muslims.

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan built this marvel of modern Islamic architecture to remember his father. A key feature worth noticing is the world’s largest loomed carpet in one of the prayer halls, which was completed in two years by a total of 1200 artisans. Photography of the mausoleum is strictly prohibited, but all other parts of the mosque can be photographed.
