Great Mosque. The cleanliness, the history & the architecture. You can find history and achievement in every corner of mosque whether its the persian carpet, mother pearls, great chandeliers, all were amazing. View of pillars was breathtaking. Gift shop was very nice, good souvenirs. And thankyou to the great ruler of Abu Dhabi, who has kept 24 priests to sing prayers continuously to give us all a soothing experience. If you are in Abu Dhabi, do visit the mosque. Amazingly Beautiful.

I love this place !! I feel this can be one of the 7 world wonders..

Amazing mosque and a popular attraction for Abudhabi and UAE. It lives upto its "grand" name by its grandeur. With an expansive park all around it, and the glimmering water pools surrounding it, and the magnificent architecture and the sheer size of the buildings are striking. Free to visit, with endless parking spaces. Only requirement is that women are required to cover their hair with a shawl or an abaya that can be rented for free by providing any original I'd.
Beautiful and well-organized. The audio guides are free.

Beauty is pure appreciation, it s beyond religion and belief.
Grand Mosque is a Stunning Opulent Masterpiece of modern & traditional architecture by Syrian Architect Yousef Abdelky @ 2 Billion AED Dirhams opening in 2007 warrants your discreet attention. Take a private tour to understand some of the complex details and undertakings this gathering and worship building complex has created.
A nice piece of architecture. Huge Mosque just in the right proportions to the city of abu Abu Dhabi. Both thumbs up.
If someone want to visit Abu Dhabi and want to see only one place, that one place will be this mosque.
We visited the mosque late in the evening and it was magical to experience the monument during a quite time. Our fantastic guide, Abdul Rachman, explained not only the building, but impressed upon us the beauty of Islam and the message of inclusivity embodied in the structure.
The Grand Mosque is incredible, you have to do it! You can enter inside and visit everyday after 4pm. It is completely FREE.
When you arrive you will have to register and then you may have to change your clothes. Specially for women but they provide everything and it is part of the experience! More importantly, there is a FREE tour of the Mosque! It was amazing! Every 30 minutes it starts from the main entrance and you go everywhere with two guides! We did the tour with Zainab! She is incredible! We loved her and the tour! If I can give you an advice, do not book a tour to visit the Mosque because you won t be able to enter the prayer room and other areas while with the FREE tour provided by the Mosque you can!
This mosque is unbelievable!!I have been there twice but I would go back again. I havent seen anything like that in my life.
Beautiful Ramadan tarawih congregation that accommodated mothers with infants and young children. South parking is less busy and closer to the women and children prayer area.
Excellent architecture . Recommended to visit during 5pm to 7pm so you can enjoy both the day and night view.
Enjoy all the fancy golden details, the largest carpet, the ponds around the mosque and the chandeliers, which are beautiful and breathtaking. The mosque is gorgeous and such a pristine monument. The area surrounding the mosque is well maintained and manicured. Dress code- They provides traditional abaya prior to entry for women and men preferred to wear decent clothes.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is the largest mosque in the UAE.
The entrance to the mosque is a highly secured dome opposite the actual mosque, with a passage way linked to the mosque.
Rules are strict at the mosque, women should be fully covered and men should be properly dressed, pictures are allowed around the inner parts of the mosque.
I had a great time at the mosque, it is one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I have ever seen.

One of the most magnificent structures in the world. A must see for everyone travelling to the UAE.

A beautiful mosque is abudhabi if you visit Dubai must visit this place
An amazing mosque...you must visit with family..having a big park around
Beautiful Place. Great display of art and architecture.
Gorgeous and huge mosque. Exteamly beautiful. Bit of walking inside, but all worth for experience of architectural beauty.
Words cannot begin to describe its beauty and awe. Must see in Dubai
A very solemn place. One of the best attractions in Abu Dhabi.
What an amazing place. So nice to spend a peaceful morning looking around with the help of the guide.
Of course it s beautiful because it s a masjid, and the beauty is in it s inspiring presence . But I as a Muslim was offended at my treatment when visiting. I wasn t allowed to enter one of the places where the tourists were allowed to go. I was specifically stopped from entering an area precisely because I am a Muslim and apparently only those who were curious non-Muslims were allowed in at that point. A masjid belongs to the Muslims - I mean there is no issue with tourism and welcoming others but how does that justify the people of the masjid being told they aren t allowed there? Think you ve got your priorities mixed up there a wee bit.

One of the finest architectural beauty in Abu Dhabi.
Muslims and non Muslims can enter to the Mosque but entry to Prayer hall is restricted to Muslims.
It crowded at holidays.
Non Muslim women should wear the Burqa which is available at mosque itself.
As Muslim it was a great experience. I have visited Jumah masjid in India before and this my second experience visiting a Muslim church.
Everything about Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is beautiful and peaceful.
The pool in front of Mosque is clean. Lighting at evening is absolutely mind blowing. Huge parking facility no entry fee.
Its good to see the masjid and the management of abu dhabhi government
It was amaizing tour, Alhamdullilah that god let me to see this beautiful mosque, this is one of the 7 wonders of the world
A very uplifting & spiritual visit

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.The largest mosque in the country, it is the key place of worship for daily prayers, Friday gathering and Eid prayers.
The Grand Mosque was constructed between 1996 and 2007. It was designed by Syrian architect Yousef Abdelky. The building complex measures approximately 290 m (960 ft) by 420 m (1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), excluding exterior landscaping and vehicle parking.
The project was launched by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
When you visit this mosque, you will be astonished about the details of every pillar. A must to see place for those who love architecture, many zones are available for pictures. loved all the details. There is a nearby souk for souvenirs and a some brands like Starbucks and Costa
If you are tourists, it takes more than 1 hour to reach mosque after parking underground. It's too long of a journey. I won't go to the mosque again. Only for the prayers.
Amazing! Dont forget to respect the dress code. Get there early to avoid the crowds
Even if you only have an hour of free time in Abu Dhabi, board a taxi and rush to this place if you haven't seen it before. It has a lot of the same fabulous quality as Taj Mahal and has potential for becoming the Taj Mahal of the 21st century.
Very huge women should be decent but are also provided with decent clothes to return after the tour. Very tranquil
Very beautiful mosque.. can't justify in words.. must visit kinda
Constructed between 1996 and 2007 at the request of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and first president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is by far the most popular of Abu Dhabi's sights, and it's easy to see why. One of the largest mosques in the world, this house of worship features 82 domes, more than 1,000 columns and a white and gold facade. What's more, this is one of only two mosques in the UAE open to non-Muslim tourists. That means that visitors from all around the globe can walk across the world's largest hand-woven rug, gaze up at one of the world's largest chandeliers and admire the fusion of Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman architectural styles, representing three different Islamic dynasties.
Although it's not Abu Dhabi's oldest attraction, those who have visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque say that a stop here is a must for those who want a better understanding of the city's religious identity. The site is one of the world's most significant examples of contemporary Islamic architecture. You are welcome to explore the mosque on your own, but many travelers recommend tagging along on one of the free guided tours; tours take between 45 minutes and an hour and can be reserved in advance, or you can simply show up and wait for the next scheduled English tour. Our guide was outstanding; no religion, just amazing facts and with his commentary we understood the incredible engineering, art [and] workmanship that make this so very special.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open to the public Saturday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. with the last entry at 9:30 p.m. On Fridays, the mosque is open from 5 to 11 p.m. Admission is free every day of the week. Walk-in tours are offered at various times during those days. The mosque is located near the three bridges separating the city of Abu Dhabi from the mainland you can access the site via taxi or the 32, 44 and 54 buses from central Abu Dhabi city. Remember: This is still an active mosque serving up to 40,000 worshippers. You should dress modestly in loose-fitting long pants or skirts and long-sleeve shirts, and women will need to cover their heads.
