What to expect

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

Visitors to Abu Dhabi can’t help but stand in awe at their first sight of the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in pristine white marble. As an architectural masterpiece of immense proportions, it features 82 domes, 1000 pillars, and space for up to 40,000 worshippers. The mosque is a premier example of modern Islamic architecture and was both the grand vision of late president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his final resting place. With influences from Mamluk, Ottoman, Fatimid, and Indo-Islamic architectural styles, the mosque is an awe-inspiring landmark of superlatives, including the largest mosaic in the world, the biggest carpet, and the third-largest chandelier adorned with dazzling Swarovski crystals and 24-karat gold. It is also one of the few mosques in the country where non-Muslims are welcome. Enjoy the serene beauty and rich cultural significance of this iconic site, and remember to dress modestly in accordance with the mosque's etiquette.
