An architectural marvel in finest grandeur - Enroute to our hotel in YAS Island, we made our first stop at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The grandeur of this architectural marvel is stunning and it simply amazes on how intricate the craftsmanship and how larger than life the mosque is, all at the same time. In Spite of the heat we managed to take a little tour of the outdoor spaces that have a larger waterbody surrounding it. As you enter the mosque, the white marble with inlay work of flowers, brings you a sense of calm and serenity that lets you appreciate how much planning and detail in execution has happened to create such a beautiful structure. The dress code is very strictly followed as it is an active place of worship and certain areas are sealed off for that, though you can view them from outside. Especially the carpet in the prayer area, which holds the record for the largest hand woven carpet in the world, and that intricately crafted chandelier, which holds the record for the second largest chandelier in the world. Constructed between 1994 and 2007, The Grand Mosque was inaugurated in December 2007, with the complex measuring approximately 950 by 1,380 ft, and covering an area of more than 30 acres, and that excludes the exterior landscaping and vehicle parking. The main axis of the building is rotated about 12° south of true west, aligning it in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The project was launched by the late president of the U.A.E., Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure that would unite the cultural diversity of the Islamic world with the historical and modern values of architecture and art. In 2004, Sheikh Zayed passed away and he was buried in the courtyard of the mosque. UAE can be proud for this marvellous structure that is definitely going to stand the test of time, and be as intriguing as ever, even after a 100 years, it is an icon that I recommend to visit #apjprecommends Did you know, a smaller replica of the grand mosque exists in the Indonesian city of Surakarta. There is a lot more to the mosque than a place of worship, it has a cultural center, library, and a small mall that sells souvenirs, a food court, but more on that in the next post.

3 Aussies and an Italian enlightened - Living in Abu Dhabi I always take our visitors to see this beautiful mosque so I've been lucky enough to enjoy many of the walking tours. Our fantastic guide this past Sun (Zayed) just raised the bar again for being an amazing ambassador for this great country and educating us about his faith. Thank you Zayed for all the insight and philosophy you shared with us. You're a young bloke with a wise head on your shoulders. We wish you well in all that you are setting out to do. From the 3 Aussies and the Italian that enjoyed your tour on Sun 18th Sep (12:00 midday).

Grand Mosque - Abu Dhabi - A lovely tour guide after the name Fouza really gave us an insight to the history behind The Grand Mosque. The structure, the history and the decor of this beautiful Mosque was extraordinary. Was absolutely speechless once seeing the Mosque from afar and completely lost for words once entering the Mosque. Mash’Allah to it all!!

Stunning Mosque- stay covered - My family and I went to see The Grand Mosque whilst in Abu Dhabi. It is extremely well organized! Ladies and men need to be covered so get clean overalls with hoods to stay covered. Women can’t have their hair showing so definitely bring a hairband along! Men receive trousers to wear over their shorts so their legs are covered, but can wear T-shirts. The entrance is extremely modern and clean, but it’s quite a long walk until you come up to the Mosque. Once there you are able to take photographs, but men are not allowed to touch women so make sure you don’t hold hands, kiss or hold each other around the waist.

Expensive after all - We took an Uber to the mosque with great expectations & kept in mind to dress properly in order to honor the local rules. I, the only female in my group of 4, wore a knitted pant and long sleeve sweater. And, I also had brought a cotton scarf to cover my hair. The entrance to the mosque is free of charge. Upon entering I was told, that my outfit was too see through (if caught by the sun), which I did not agree with. I had to purchase a whole new outfit in one of the many shops. Almost every woman I saw had the same experience. I have to add that the shops are expensive. This took from our mosque experience, which was over within half an hour. Sad, but true.
