SubhanAllah, magnificent mosque that sheds a light on how artistsic and create Islam is
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque stands out as one of the world s largest mosques, and the only one that captures unique interactions between Islam and world cultures. Sheikh Zayed's vision for the Grand Mosque was to incorporate architectural styles from different Muslim civilizations and celebrate cultural diversity by creating a haven that is truly diverse and inspirational in its foundation. The mosque s architects were British, Italian and Emirati, and design inspiration was borrowed parts of Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan, and Egypt among other Islamic countries, revealing a glistening architectural marvel with an astonishing capacity of 40,000 worshippers and visitors.
The open-door policy invites tourists and celebrants from all around the world who can witness the spectacular onion-top domes, the reflective pools that engulf the courtyard and the iconic prayer hall, which not only overflows with blissful sunlight, but also houses the world s biggest chandelier and carpet, both meticulously handmade. Be sure to spot the calligraphy encircling the hollows of the domes, etched with verses from the Quran and painted with gold leaves in An-Naskh lettering.
A masterpiece! Great architectural design... Must visit if you are on a trip to the UAE
Great place...it's been built with a lot of details and care. Architecturally, it's a marvel! It's huge and all the walls and ceilings inside the prayer areas are beautifully decorated. It has become a great tourist attraction, which is fine and very good for non Muslims to see what a mosque looks like. The reason I am giving this place a 4 is because of it's poor management - all people, who came here to pray and not to pray are put through the same registration system which takes a lot of time! May be since it was my first time, I didn't know about the right way to enter the mosque as someone who would like to pray on time. Also, there was lack of signs of what to do and where to go!
One of the best place to visit in Abu Dhabi. The Mosque has beautiful work of arts on its walls. Designed beautifully. One must visit here and is open to all irrespective of ur religion.
The mosque has such a beautiful architectural design. You would love it
This was my second visit after 3 years. The arrangements are better now and it's more organized. However the walk from parking to the mosque entrance is quite long. The free rides and courtesy umbrellas were welcome. The only gripe was the restriction to access the main hall with the magnificent chandeliers.
To be avoided during weekends and public holidays
A must do! Very good photo ops and outstanding landmark to see!
As the name indicates, it is an edifice. A key tourist attraction in Abu Dhabi. As at 7pm when I visited, they've clocked over 25,000 visitors for the day. Best to visit at night as the lights come on, and they are beautiful. There's a dress code as its a religious attraction. Appropriate dressing available to use for free at the clock room especially for the ladies. Beautiful architecture with embedded history. Media guides available if you want a detailed tour. Have fun...
Incredible, there's a medium sized prayer room where you can pray off hours
Nothing better than night pray with Idres Abkar @ Sheikh zayed Grand Mosque
Amazing architecture. One of the most beautiful mosques i have visited
The most amazing place I have ever seen, the level of perfection in this place goes way beyond the word perfect.
Great place, cozy atmosphere, the taj of UAE
Absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend everyone visit this Mosque. The size is mesmerizing. The finishings are astonishing. Very calm and peaceful place to be. Ma Shaa Allah.
Such a beautiful mosque... And very well maintained it is by staff... Too good it is...!!
It's the biggest and best mosque in UAE.
The touring and praying there is a great experience.
Very beautiful mosque! Huge! Biggest handmade carpet in the world! Amazing Swarovski chandeliers! If you in UAE - you must visit!!!!
Very beautifully designed and built an peaceful place for worship
Excellent place and wonderful architecture. Interiors are amazing. Despite having so many visitors the place is well maintained. Love to visit again.
The timing is amazing and it is very grand, but the queues are so long and you have to take a long underground tunnel to enter it. Once you're there have to do a complete circuit in order to leave.
The must see attraction of Abu Dhabi! Probably the best mosque in the world where all nationalities, religions are welcome!
Beautifully constructed and will maintained
One of the most visited and best Mosques in UAE .. Abu Dhabi
Here you have one exquisite work of art!! I'm a Catholic and since I remember I have found myself in the middle of a church sitting down enjoying the architecture and beautiful details of churches but I had never seen such impressive and stunning piece of art like this mosque. Enjoy all the fancy golden details, the largest carpet, the ponds around the mosque and the chandeliers, which are beautiful and breathtaking. Even if the place was full of visitors you can enjoy the peace inside and in the surroundings. If you are visiting for the first time bring something to cover your head and wear long-sleeves. just as you enter, request the recordings of the guided tour of the mosque by delivering an ID, available in different languages (it's for free)
the most beautiful spiritual place Ive ever seen in the world.
We weee in Dubai ,so as well went to see Abu Dhabi and Grand Mosk its amazing,must see when you there,women will get their clothing so they all covered and mens as long you have shorts under your knees its ok.and shirt.

Beautiful Mosque.Visited mosque during Ramadan.Non Muslim can visit.Security strict.
Second largest mosque in the world had another great experience there
The Grand Mosque is a must see if you go to Abu Dhabi. The place is very huge and for the ladies their is available Abaya to ware.
Grand mosque with abundant free parking and majestic architect
Must visit place in Abu Dhabi. Allow 2-3 hrs if you are visiting this month. Very popular tourist destination.
This mosque is absolutely spectacular! Very peaceful and beautiful place.
The walk from the parking to the actual mosque was a little much, but it was well worth it!
The process to get through security was quick and smooth.
There is a bunch of "photo stops" where visitors can stop and take pictures. This was very well organized as to avoid congestion in the whole place even when there are thousands of people in there at the same time.
The architecture is absolutely breathtaking!
Impressive view and introduction to local religion. Very welcoming atmosphere and staff, just dress as required and behave. Must see in Abu Dhabi.
This is the most beautiful mosque & if you are visiting UAE then this mosque is a must that you should consider visiting.
#TOLERANCE really stunning place. As visitors from different culture you have to appreciate how well designed this place is. Architectute is stunning, the marble, the biggest carpet, the biggest chandeliers. Definitely worth visiting!
Ps. There's also another Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, so make sure your sat nav takes you to the "GREAT" one !
PS II: you can borrow clothing there as an individual, but not as "group" apparently...
Really magnificent and Holly place, you can enjoy the amazing view in both daytime and evening
It is a Grand Mosque alright. Exquisite artwork on white marble. Beautiful chandeliers. And acres of space. Truly a magnificent memorial. Must visit place if one is visiting Abu Dhabi.
Amazing and mesmerizing beauty. A splendid piece of architecture beauty. A must visit when you are coming to Dubai
Shaikh zayed grand mosque,Located in the capital city of The United Arab Emirates
The mosque has 82 domes and adorned by the best grade of Italian marble. world's largest carpet in prayer room from iran.seven imported chandeliers
The staff and security do an awesome job and guides are available.There is strict security checking at the entrance. Food items are not allowed inside. Ladies have to wear an abaya and cover their head. It is very spacious and easy to find parking.
One of the larget Mosque in UAE ... Based in Abu Dhabi .... Do visit once
Great mosqu making you proud with the modern building design and Islamic art
Very beautiful architecture. Mostly crowded on Friday with thousands of visitors.
The Grand Mosque is incredible, you have to do it! You can enter inside and visit every day after 4pm. It is completely FREE. The sheer dimensions of this mosque make you shiver. Very beautiful. We were there on a relatively quiet day, so we could truly enjoy the visit. Well organized everything from the registration to the visit itself. Good treatment by the friendly security staff.
Had Just a look on the outside and Found it amazing
The iconic place in Abu Dhabi. As name says its really grand. There is dress code and for non Muslims they will provide at entrance . its just amazing. No excuse for you if you visit Abu Dhabi. You must see this grand blessed place.
It is a magnificent building and well worth a visit. Super busy at sunset, so I would go earlier next time.
Worth visiting. Overall Good arrangements for visitors
Best tourism spot if Abu Dhabi.. a must visit place to all new to Abu Dhabi
A magnificent mosque you can not deny that, but compared to the experience 8 years ago where it was a more humble and spiritual moment there, I went earlier today and people are walking around like herded cattle, everywhere was blocked off (in the past visitors could walk around and take in the amazing architecture). In addition, women were given this horrible polyester robe (in the past it was a breathable black niqab) which smelt, had holes and made you feel like an awkward tourist. Really a shame, no one was discussing the details of the building or their faith, overall I feel it has turned into a tourist trap and does a disservice to the beautiful building and what it stands for. And why have foreign restaurants like coffee club and Cinnabon? I came here to experience Emrati culture not American culture.
Great and huge place. It's a modern marvel with fantastic heritage architecture. Must see
The largest mosque in the UAE. The place is to worship for Islamics. Design and lighting are very impressively. Chandeliers made of crystals and marble slabs and columns. Most of floors covered by carpet which recorded as the world s largest carpet. The mosque will make you feel peaceful, relax and composed. Pool outside with light at night is stunning. Watching sunset from here is amazing.
Amazing 7 wonders of world
Beautiful Mosque
Great place. Kind of mirrored architecture. Get ready for a walkathon if you are planning to visit.
Magnificent. Loved the place. A great architectural masterpiece costing over $500m. The marble work is magnificent and worth the visit.
Do be advised to wear appropriate cloths and be well covered.
Entrance is free with helpful guides.
Modern design Mosque with all the splendour you could imagine.
Biggest mosque of uae....breathtaking view...one should see in night you cannot blink eye of it....purify your soul at worlds best mosque
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, and is considered to be the key site for worship in the country. The design of the mosque was done by a Syrian architect named Yousef Abdelky. One of the largest mosques in the world, topped with 82 white domes of varying sizes.
A must visit place when you are in Abu Dhabi
A big piece of art from all the globe
Great place to visit for muslims and non muslims. The way they preserve their culture , it's so much to learn from them . The premises is very beautiful for walking but the interior is very spectacular. There are lot of security outside and women are given a separate cloth to cover themselves. It's a must visit place .
This Masjid is one of the greatest Masjids in the world and has covered a huge area which can accommodate thousands of worshippers. The entire environment of the Masjid is very stunning; I mean it is so clear and clean that you can see your image if you look down. Although this Masjid can never be compared to the three holiest Mosques of Islam but it has achieved a better place for those who wish to worship Allah sincerely.
Amazing mosque, worth a visit If you are in Abu Dhabi
Beautification is at its peak.
One of the top rated master piece in the state of Emirates, Abu Dhabi.
Sheik zayed mosque is one of the must see places in Abu Dhabi. Mosque Architecture, tile and glass works and the marbles are simply mesmerizing.
Very beautiful deco inside, jigantic chandeliers and doors. Carpet is a single very long piece.
