The grand mosque is stunning, and there is so much to learn.. Didn't need to buy a guided tour here. Parking is free, no entry fee, and free audio guide by the entrance. I was leaving just as the 5pm guided tour started and it got really busy so I would recommend to visit before the guided tours start. Could feel frustration for how difficult it was for some people to take selfies..

One of the most beautiful and biggest mosques of the world. Must visit place while traveling to Abu Dhabi. The architecture is majestic. The interior of the mosque is just amazing. Easily available parking, cafe with decent quality food.

Not the same experience as 5 years ago. Still impressive. We could not walk into the mosque itself. Maybe because it was Friday evening? Given the amount of tourists visiting the organization seems to work perfekt.

Grandeur is a small word to describe this mosque. The 82 domes, the 7 Swarovski crystal chandeliers and the one piece 60570 sq ft carpet are unique in every sense. Inlay work in white marble is very beautiful

One of the most beautiful places around. The pictures are stunning and it really is worth the visit to see such a special place. Women must wear abayas to cover up but they are supplied no problem.

It was the first time when I visited such a big mosque. It is very clean and everything shines. The best hour for visiting it is around 7 pm, right at/after the sunset. In the lower level you can also find stores and places to eat! Wonderful place!!!

Tip1:You already know it's the first place to go to in Abu Dhabi but would suggest to go around 5-530pm where you can see the structure with daylight and by night as this is equally mesmerizing with the blue nights reflecting on the small pool.

Tip 2: park near the glass domes as the entry is through there so you save time and effort by walking less

Tip 3: Take the club car underground ride as the walk could be long but it's has horizontal escalators. The club car ride is free.

Tip 4: respect the clothing requirements at the mosque , women would get abbayas and unsure if men do get khandooras but safe for men to wear full trousers rather than shorts.

Tip5 : Take the South gate entrance if coming by car which can be searched in google maps

The new system of access to the Mosque has made things a bit chaotic. Please make sure to arrive in time and with a great amount of patience.
At the end of the queue, the patience will be worthy! I loved the architecture and the dairy of this sacred place.

Good visit while in Abu Dhabi. Such a stunning Mosque, I prayed Asr here. Relaxed around in the evening, very peaceful and calm. Trying to get home is a bit of hassle especially with the taxi queue. They should have some sort of a transport service to get you home quicker.

This is one of the most stunning and beautifully constructed Mosque I have seen until now. The intricate designs of flowers and other formations on the walls and floor of the mosque reminds me of Taj Mahal back at my country. This mosque holds three large gorgeous Chandeliers and the largest hand made-carpet in the world. A visit to this mosque is highly recommended when in UAE.

We have never been to a mosque before so we really do not have a comparison but we were quite amazed with what we saw. The entrance to the mosque is free. Women have to cover themselves as can be seen in the pictures. They do provide the necessary clothing for women so don't bother to buy extra clothing. They provide a free guided tour but we missed it and had to go on our own. Inside the main hall my wife had a question and a very friendly lady at the small information desk ended up giving us a history of the construction of the building and a brief summary about islamic rituals. We really learned a lot. The architect is quite amazing. They do not have pictures or paintings like in christian churches due to the fact that Islam forbids portraits and sculptures. The art lies mainly in the marvellous carpet and building itself.

I liked it, although it s fuuuull of tourists. Impecable marble and interesting wall art. The cafe outside is a bit overpriced and there is no place close by where you can find wifi (we had trouble ordering a careem cab). Beautiful at sunset!

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a must visit in Abu Dhabi. The mosque is absolutely worth visiting, but it's a shame that in the recent years they have restricted the acces a lot. Dress code is very strict, but ladies will get an abaya to cover while visiting. Entrance is free of charge. I prefer visiting at evening, after 5pm, because when it lights the mosque is even more beautiful. There are some free tours, but i never got one.

Fantastic. Can't miss this. Take the 30 minute tour. It's free and it will take you to areas you can't visit alone. (Book online to skip the very long line and you'll still wait a lot to get in but definitely worth it)

Absolutely amazing structure. A must visit place in Abu Dhabi. Very beautiful. Friendly staff. Best to carry a photo ID with you when visiting the mosque. This will help you in getting the voice guide machine. You will need to deposit the ID and get it bash when you return the equipment.
Even the toilets are jaw dropping.
Superb

This is a ginormous mosque named after the UAE s founder. I found it a bit overwhelming but I gave it five stars for the people watching you can do here, from the Chinese tour groups to the pious making a prayer trip. It s also part of this young country s nation-building, showing that the Sultan was a great, pious man and that the country has a great place of worship.
