The Grand Mosque is an intricate contemporary masterpiece. Every square inch of the mosque has been designed with intention and fits into the overall grand theme of the mosque.

Symmetry is an essential component of the mosque and you'll find geometric patterns abound. The intricate marble and glasswork will leave you amazed and the 5 storey chandelier exuding thousands of colors is a sight to behold.

What mesmerized me was the Qibla wall with fiber optics inlaid into the wall to create a mystic and serene effect which I've never seen in my life.

The mosque transcends during the night with it's mellow gray and blue lighting which is lock step with the phases of the moon.

There are so many facets of the mosque like the longest carpet in the world, the columns designed as palm trees and inlaid with precious stones, the domes and the serene marble that words don't do justice to the beauty of the mosque.

Definitely a must visit in Abu Dhabi.
