One of the six largest mosques in the world. It is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and first president of the United Arab Emirates, who is buried nearby. The mosque was officially opened in the month of Ramadan in 2007.

A functioning mosque. Beautiful location. An interesting place. I am very glad that we visited this mosque. By the way, the guide said that prayer goes on here 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
An interesting fact: guides with groups are not allowed inside, all instruction takes place outside.

In a country among the sands of an endless desert, skyscrapers of glass and metal rise up to the sky.
I have dreamed of seeing the beauty of the Arab world with my own eyes for a long time. But
Numb with beauty... that's what I experienced. I just wanted to watch and sigh with happiness, or envy, or the opportunity to see it… I know, but it's incredible... it's wonderful!

It's a disgusting place. A symbol of narcissism, prohibitions and the whim of the rich.
2 hours of driving on toll roads, because there is no alternative. It's so hot outside that you have heatstroke, it's just the norm already. Inside you go to look at this mosque "the heritage of the Emirates" and literally everything is forbidden there except breathing (thank you for not forbidding breathing). We only took pictures of what we were allowed to do there, if you move incorrectly, there are guards on every corner and say how to do it, and if you don't, there will be a fine and a ban on entry. If the guard did not like how you took a picture, they require the phone to show the photo and completely delete those that are "prohibited".
You can't lie down, sit down, clothes must be correct, of course, you can't eat, walk only along paths and fenced territories and watch only what is shown, and at the same time a bunch of guards and cameras are looking at you and for any "wrong" - a fine and haram apparently🤔

An incredibly beautiful mosque! Lay down 10-15 minutes only for the entrance itself and it is better to register initially on the site, this will simplify the passage and save time
Carefully study the dress code (both women and men)
, I advise you to visit twice: during the day and at night

It is beautiful, but crowded, the crowd is walking along a rather narrow corridor. The clothes are closed, a headscarf for women is needed. Wear comfortable shoes: it's a very long walk from the parking lot to the mosque.

Aristocratic luxury.
The main mosque of the UAE, designed for 40 thousand people.
In the main prayer hall there is the world's largest carpet weighing 45 tons, hand-woven by 1300 craftsmen.
There are 7 chandeliers decorated with Swarovski crystals and gold leaf in the mosque.
An exquisite, refined floral ornament. All in white marble and precious stones. Dazzling in both the literal and figurative senses. It is simply impossible to be in the courtyard without sunglasses, keep this in mind when visiting.
You can walk to the entrance through the underground shopping malls, or you can get there by electric transport, similar to a golf cart. An abaya is required for women to visit. Men have closed knees, shoulders (T-shirt fits).
We've seen enough mosques in Istanbul, but this one is amazing. Truly, there are no two identical mosques in the world, each one is unique💚

A beautiful place, gorgeous and majestic
There are a lot of people, but in general it is comfortable. The difficulty is in the long journey to the mosque, but it's not scary

A grandiose structure! Very rich and beautiful! Magnificent marble and carpets. Huge crystal chandeliers. I liked that it turned out to be fast to get through with pre-registration and receiving a QR code. And although there are not many people in queues, everything moves quickly. We got from the city by bus. I recommend a visit.

A very beautiful, spacious, bright mosque, lots of greenery. Definitely worth a visit! A very strict dress code, girls should have their hair covered, all hands and feet are completely ankle-deep, including children, without cuts and cutouts. If there is no appropriate clothing, it can be purchased at the shopping gallery in front of the mosque, the cost is from 45 dirhams to 250 and above. Outside and inside, you can take pictures and shoot everything on camera.

The mosque is amazingly beautiful 🕌
It's worth visiting here at least once in your life. The chandeliers for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque are made of millions of Swarovski crystals. One of them weighs 12 tons!
The beauty is indescribable throughout the building.
Girls, be sure to buy an abaya and a headscarf, otherwise the entrance to the mosque will be prohibited.

The mosque is of stunning beauty. Especially from the outside it impresses with its grandeur. It is important to follow the dress code, even for men. They won't let you in short shorts. I recommend visiting in the afternoon and evening to appreciate the backlight.

This is a very cool and beautiful place!!! It's just breathtaking! The only drawback is that the coverage-clothes for women are now forced to buy (previously they were rented out), or they will not let them in. It is better to dress according to the dress code right away.

A wonderful beautiful place, it's cheaper to get on your own from Abu Dhabi. But do not confuse the bus, there is one that goes straight to the mosque, and then as we perform the Hajj, it is far from the stop on foot, entrance number 6. It is better to visit in the evening, the photos will come out many times more beautiful or arrive before sunset, there will be daylight and evening. According to clothing, if you want to save money, then strictly closed legs to the ankles, head, arms for women, legs for men, arms to the elbow. Transparent clothes are not allowed, swearing, showing signs of indecency too. But it is good for women to have an abaya for a photo shoot, it is better to buy cheaper in advance at the market or there 35-45 dirhams with a bargain. We met 2 cunning Russian-speaking multilingual girls at the entrance, one skinny blonde began to sell her abaya, allegedly bought it for 100 dirhams, sells at half price. We were tired after the Hajj and hurried to close and took her abaya, as it turned out in the stalls on the theory she is 35-45 dirhams. The girl happily took off into the night. Well, okay, no one has canceled the boomerang rule, deceiving compatriots in holy places. But maybe it's for the best, because I would have taken the black one myself, and this sky blue one was perfect for a photo shoot. So who knows this girl, hello to her, you will look at the photo on her social networks, it was in December 2023, she was in a sky-blue abaya with a golden braid, a short blonde skinny smart, with long curled hair, you know this is the same liar. In the end, I also wished you a good rest, as all scoundrels do. She ruined the whole impression of the visit, it was unpleasant. But it's your own fault. I don't like deception.

Everything was done, of course, with the highest level of skill. Architecture of such a scale cannot but surprise a sophisticated researcher. We visited the mosque in the evening, went out almost at night. It feels like I'm in a fairy tale "1001 nights" or "Aladdin".
Men need to wear trousers and a shirt, or a special garment with a high collar. Girls should completely cover their heads and cover their bodies. The legs should also be covered at the ankles.
You can walk for a very long time. Photography was allowed without a flash. It is advisable not to make noise, not to point fingers.

It can definitely be said that the mosque is exactly the place that belongs to the must-see category. Greatness, splendor and delight. If the claim that this is the most beautiful mosque of our time can still be disputed, then the world's largest chandelier, as well as the world's largest man-made carpet, are located here. The only thing that can slightly depress a tourist is the extremely strict dress code, especially for women. But this is not a problem, since in the shops in front of the entrance there are a great many different outfits to bring it in line with the requirements

This mosque is simply a masterpiece, the greatest achievement of modern architecture. We came with the whole family, we did not read about the dress code, we had to buy an Abaya for all three of them at the place it turned out to be expensive, So hurry up in advance and clarify what you can wear to the most closed parts of the body. However, in the national colorful clothes of Abai, the photos turn out to be very memorable and beautiful. Men's Abaya costs about 50 dirhams, women's is much more attractive 55.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a true miracle of architecture and spirituality. Majestic domes, elegant minarets and snow-white walls create a unique atmosphere of awe and tranquility. Inside the mosque, you will be greeted by a majestic prayer hall with handmade carpets and crystal chandeliers, and marble columns and luxurious details surprise with their beauty and grandeur. Visiting a mosque is not only an opportunity to get acquainted with Islamic culture and architectural heritage, but also to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of peace and sublimity. This place is definitely worth a visit to anyone who is in Abu Dhabi.

I visited it 2 times in one day!
Monumental, very beautiful! During the day it is all white and bright, and in the evening, after sunset - just like in the song: "Arabian Night ..." and so on.
Register before visiting her official website, where you will receive a QR code, which will then be checked inside several more times by security. And - pay attention to the very strict dress code! The latest requirements are described in detail on the mosque's website.

A magnificent mosque, a monument to the founding father of the UAE, Zayd ibn Sultan Al Nahyan.
The architecture and decoration of the mosque is amazing. Rare marble, walls inlaid with gold and gems, luxurious carpets. People from many countries of the world took part in the construction of the mosque.
It is better to visit the mosque in the evening, when it is reflected in fountains and canals.
The mosque is open to people of all religions and faiths.
A strict dress code has been adopted for visiting, women are given an abaya.
You can get to the mosque by bus or taxi.
Parking spaces are limited.
I consider the mosque mandatory to visit in the UAE.

The place is very beautiful. But I didn't like the fact that you have to go through face control. Then another check for the presence of prohibited items (this is ok). And then you walk on a string, you can't take a step to the right or to the left. I have been in many Muslim mosques, but in this one everything is as strict as possible

This is a place where you must definitely and super definitely go to see! The girls must be covered, they will definitely deploy you to some of the checks otherwise. 45 dirhams is the price of a Muslim dress that you will be allowed to wear.

A grand mosque, even if you are not a religious person, it will be impossible not to admire its greatness!
Girls definitely need to cover their heads, shoulders and knees, otherwise they won't miss it. The entrance to the territory goes through an underground passage in a small shopping center, through turnstiles and security.
If you have not prepared with clothes in advance, then you can buy an abaya along the way. They are sold in shops all in the same transition in different price categories and design variations.

An amazing mosque in every sense, it was built by the best minds and hands of modern times, architecture, design, content - all this is done and performed with love.
The whitest marble, the purest water in reservoirs, which allows you to soften your stay during the heat, a unique mosaic of precious stones laid out on the square and inlaid on vertical surfaces, mega huge doors that open and close automatically, and all this is surrounded by a garden of eden.
The mosque symbolizes the unity of believers and unites all faiths that bring peace, goodness and joy.
There is no shade of extremism and radical Islamism, all this is admired by people of other faiths and faiths.
The mosque has the largest handmade carpet in the world, the mosaic on the square is the largest in the world and is listed in the Guinness Book, the chandelier is currently the third largest in the world.
A dress code is required for visiting.
There are many shops and food areas in the underground entrance to the mosque, including a Makdak. You will not stay hungry and without souvenirs.
I thank the creators and workers who preserve this splendor.
