A breathtaking mosque with 82 domes and dazzling white marble architecture. It’s peaceful and spiritual, open to visitors of all faiths. Don’t forget to dress modestly and explore its stunning courtyard and chandeliers. 🚌 You can take a local bus or Intercity Bus E100 from Dubai to Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station, then a taxi or local bus to the mosque.

Amazing place. Beautiful 🕌, but it is very popular so there are many restricted areas, security checks that are stricter than in airport 😀, you cannot walk inside only around. Dress code is very strict especially for the women.

Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is an incredible architectural masterpiece and spiritual heart of the city. The mosque captivates with its grand scale, snow-white marble, and rich decorations. Inside, beautiful mosaics, giant chandeliers, and handmade carpets create a sense of grandeur and harmony. Visiting the mosque leaves a profound impression and allows you to connect with the culture and history of the United Arab Emirates.

Must-see! It is very beautiful and grandiose at the same time very refined. It is better to go on a weekday, taking an abaya with you. In the evening it is especially beautiful with lighting.

an incredible stunningly beautiful majestic mosque 🥰 you will feel like you are in a fairy tale. you need to see it both in daylight and at sunset. only muslims will understand the restrictions regarding appearance. the mosque is active, people pray in it, so visitors must cover their awrah. girls are allowed in only in abayas - you can buy them there or rent them. many different strict rules, but it's worth it!

A beautiful oriental-style mosque. It certainly differs from mosques in Turkey and other countries with colder climates. Inside, the beauty is indescribable. You need to see. It's difficult to convey all the details, it feels like you've invested a lot of effort and money. It has a very pleasant smell. It's spacious, but there are a lot of details that create grandeur, coziness and comfort.

It's a beautiful mosque, definitely worth a visit! If you were in the afternoon, try to take a picture in the center of the square) They also advise you to catch the evening time, the lighting is very beautiful. We arrived by car, Parking is free on site, then access to the mosque through the underground shopping center. There is strict dress control at the entrance for girls (translucent/ flying pants will not work), not strictly for men. One of the largest mosques, the largest chandelier, the largest carpet 😎

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is an outstanding example of modern Islamic architecture. Its splendor and scale amaze the imagination of every visitor, demonstrating the high level of skill of the builders. The interior, made using precious materials, creates an atmosphere of awe and peace. Of course, this place has great cultural significance for the United Arab Emirates and the entire Islamic world. Visiting the mosque leaves an indelible impression.

The Sheikh Zayed White Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a palace from the 1001 nights fairy tale. It has the best of everything. The largest carpet created by 1300 Iranian weavers, the largest chandelier. Four minarets 106 meters high. And the mosque itself is one of the six largest in the world. The beauty is extraordinary! Admission is free with a QR code. Mandatory dress code (appearance requirements are available on the website). I would recommend setting aside one and a half to two hours for a leisurely inspection and photos. It's worth it!

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is not just an architectural marvel, but a real place of power. A snow-white harmony of marble, light and silence. Here you can feel not only the scale and beauty, but also respect for faith and culture. A must-have point of attraction for anyone who wants to understand the soul of the Emirates. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is not just an architectural marvel — it’s a true place of spiritual power. A serene harmony of white marble, light, and silence. Here, you feel not only the scale and beauty, but also deep respect for faith and culture. A must-visit destination for anyone seeking to understand the soul of the Emirates.

Gorgeous and very large - scaleIt's magical! The atmosphere is very pleasant, there is no feeling of crowds, which is very wonderful! There are many locations for photos, but there is a sign in front of the entrance that says how not to take pictures and what not to show-it's not difficult to follow these rules! We took a taxi, we bought tickets in advance online (the procedure is not complicated) go much faster! I bought an abaya in the Mall in advance, but there are a lot of shops with abayas and souvenirs for every taste on the territory of the mosque) But we didn't waste time shopping) The security guards check the handbags and appearance, no one finds fault! A very atmospheric mosque, we were from 16:30-18:00- a great time, next time we will go after 18:30 to see the illumination -the phases of the moonI advise you to visit definitely!

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is not just one of the main attractions of the UAE, but a real miracle of the modern world, which leaves absolutely all visitors with a feeling of delight. One of the largest mosques in the world, capable of accommodating more than 40,000 worshippers. Its appearance is especially breathtaking in the rays of sunset or evening illumination. · White marble: Creates a feeling of purity, lightness and spaciousness. · Main Hall: There is the world's largest handmade carpet (5,627 m2) and incredible crystal chandeliers made of Swarovski crystal, the largest of which weighs about 12 tons. · Floral patterns: The floor and columns are decorated with delicate mosaic patterns of semiprecious stones. The emotions of visiting remain for a lifetime.

Majestic and grandiose. The snow-white mosque with its airy architecture is stunning in its scope and splendor. One of the points of almost all sightseeing tours in Abu Dhabi. I think it's worth a visit to understand how luxurious Abu Dhabi is. There is a dress code before entering the mosque. We took women's clothes from the guide, 25 dirhams of black abaya and 30 colored ones. Before the pandemic, clothes were given for free, but now they are not, so consider this expense item if you plan to visit.

An incredibly beautiful place! I wanted to spend more time there , walk around the territory , sit on the benches . Unfortunately, a group tour is not allowed . We were there during the day . I really want to go back there in the evening, when everything is illuminated and decorated with lights. The place is mandatory to visit, but it is better to do it yourself , so that there are no time limits.

A wonderful and beautiful place, worth visiting at least once in your life. The entrance is through a shopping mall where you can buy clothes to visit. Be sure to cover up your clothes, especially for women, and cover your hands and head. There you can see the most expensive chandelier in the world, as well as the most expensive carpets in the world.

The magnificent snow-white mosque is one of the six largest mosques in the world. Every element of the mosque is thought out to the smallest detail. Snow-white marble shines in the sun, flower designs are laid out on the columns with precious and semi-precious stones, and the top is made like a date palm, and there is a huge mosaic of tulips, irises and lilies on the square in front of the mosque. The chandeliers inside the mosque are a separate work of art. Swarovski crystals and gold sparkle in the light, and colored balls add zest. This is one of the most beautiful chandeliers I've ever seen in my life. The carpet in the mosque is the largest in the world with a weight of 47 tons! Everything looks so magical, as if you are in a fairy tale "One Thousand and one nights". The pearl of the UAE!

A very beautiful mosque, decorated with floral arrangements on the floor, and a column of multicolored marble on the walls. Dedicated to the mother of Sheikh Zayed. Chandeliers, stained glass windows, even clocks, everything is decorated in the form of flowers. Lots of fountains. Underground, you can have a snack in the food court, buy souvenirs. Minus: there is a strict dress code for women: wide, non-translucent trousers or a floor-length dress, long sleeves, neck and shoulders are covered, head is covered.

Impressive building and architecture. We were at sunset, very beautiful and majestic. Take a close look at the clothing recommendations and check them. In addition to the T-shirt, my wife put on a white shirt on top, but because of the slight transparency in the area of her hands, they said they couldn't let her in. Fortunately, there is a shop near the entrance and you can buy national clothes. The QR code for the entrance can be made online or on the spot at the mall, next to the food court. The local staff helps with its registration. Everything is fast enough.

An incredibly beautiful place! About 10 years ago, they rented free abayas and headscarves here. Now they have built a huge shopping center almost under the mosque itself, where you can only buy an abaya or other attire suitable for visiting the mosque. Therefore, for the future: take it with you, or buy it on the spot already. We bought the most inexpensive one for only 50 dirhams. The choice is huge. For men, the clothes are closed shoulders and below-the-knee shorts/pants. In addition, there are other shops and cafes in the shopping center. You need to register for the visit in advance, on the website. Admission is free. You can't walk freely in the mosque itself, only along a strictly designated route. Incredibly beautiful, large-scale! Fascinating! I definitely recommend you to visit. It's a very beautiful place.

A beautiful mosque. IMPORTANT: women, prepare closed clothes and a headscarf in advance (you can buy it nearby in shops, but it's expensive there, I bought it in dey tu dey for 20 dirhams, I didn't regret it) Admission is free, but with a coupon code (you need to register on the website). It is better to do this in advance, so that you don't have to stand in a crowd later. The work with the crowds of tourists was very well organized, there were sooo many of us, there was no stampede, everyone was carefully conducted. They also take you inside. I advise you to go in the morning and on weekdays, we were on weekends in the evening, it was very crowded, I took photos with difficulty)

It's a very beautiful mosque. A must-visit if you are in Abu Dhabi, it's easy to get there, you can call a taxi through the Yandex Go app. It is necessary to obtain a Qr code on the mosque's website before visiting, indicating the time of the visit. A tourist destination, you need to dress accordingly ( women in a headscarf, legs covered up to the ankles , hands up to the wrist are also closed, men in trousers).

This splendor and grandeur cannot be described in any words. It needs to be seen. To touch, feel and feel. You need to feel it with all your heart, standing on the largest square with your bare feet. Walk along the marble tiles and the corridor with the windows, the walls are strewn with a scattering of flowers made of natural stone and foliage of all colors and nature. It doesn't matter what kind of faith and understanding you have. This mosque is a home for all who understand and believe.

In the UAE, the pearl of Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, if possible, it is better to visit on your own, not by a group tour, but this is a personal experience of visiting, tickets were bought in advance online. First of all, we timed everything ourselves, and most importantly, we slowly enjoyed this miraculous masterpiece. Secondly, it is more advantageous for the price if there are two or more of you, you can take a taxi directly to the parking lot of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. It is best to describe what you saw and convey your feelings through photos and videos. Admission is free, through a large glass dome, clothes must be in accordance with Muslim traditions. In the underpass that leads to the mosque, there are cafes, shops-perfumes, jewelry, souvenirs, etc. By the time we chose the transition from daylight to evening, and we had a full immersion unforgettable visit to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is really impressive — the scale, beauty and atmosphere are mesmerizing. The girls had to wear robes with hoods, but they wouldn't let us in in shorts — we had to save ourselves with knee socks. 😄 The robe was bought from those who had already left, at a nearby shopping center — it turned out to be a little cheaper. With the lights on, the mosque looks incredible, especially in the late afternoon — it was worth coming to Abu Dhabi for this place. And the full notes are in the tg channel. t.me/VokrugSvetaZaUikend
