The uniform for girls is strict, so that everything is closed:arms, legs, headdress. They won't let you through if part of your arm is open. It is necessary to take free electronic tickets to enter.

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.

It's a very impressive and beautiful place. A valuable cultural concept of the United Arab Emirates. Well, for those who want beautiful photos, you will definitely get them here. There are a lot of people, but due to the presence of specially designated photo zones and paths where you can walk, there is no pandemonium.

It is impossible to be in Abu Dhabi and not visit the mosque named after the founder and the first president of the UAE. Everything is the best here, as it should be in the Emirates. The largest carpet, the largest chandeliers, white marble from Italy and China, but this is not the main thing, here you can admire the beauty created by people for a long time. It's like visiting an oriental fairy tale, breathtaking from white, gold and impressive. The visit to the mosque turned out without any problems, we got there by taxi, there was almost no queue (we were in the morning), the clothes also fit (I liked the color, quality, and size of the abaya), so the photos were a success. I would like to visit the mosque again!

The mosque is big, everything sparkles and glitters .But it looks more like a museum showing luxury and wealth , 47-ton carpet , newly made in 2007. There is no sense of a temple , although a tutorial is required. Passage through a huge shopping center , everything is for tourists , although admission is by free ticket .(It is necessary to run first to the right to the end, then to the left to the end , (a managerial move).

A beautiful mosque, a separate entrance for visitors - you need to issue tickets - we chose free ones. For clothes, girls should either take long dresses with them in advance, or buy them on the spot. 40-50 dirhams . The son was passed in shorts

From the parking lot we entered a building with department stores, dining areas and a children's playground. (It turns out that girls over 10 years old in the mosque should also dress closed, at least have a handkerchief on their head. On Friday, abayas are not available for rent, you can only buy.) Then they went out of the dome through an escalator or elevator and took us to the mosque in mini buses. The mosque is a beautiful, delightful place in reality from what you see in the pictures. In addition to the men's prayer room, there is a prayer hall for women and children (boys up to 12 years old). Can be easily photographed.

The main thing is to go to the right entrance. You can walk 500 meters, and if you go in the wrong direction, then 2.5 km. There are almost no cars or people at the 1st entrance. You can take a photo against the background of a mosque.

Everything would be fine. But there are... a lot of people! The aisles are also organized so-so… Only believers can enter through the main entrance. It's kind of not obvious. Everyone else goes through the glass dome in the parking lot marked as a shopping mall. And it's true - there's a shopping mall there. You follow the signs and register in the information rooms and then for inspection. Moreover, you walk all this distance on foot and on walking tours. Then there's a long queue for entry and security. Moreover, the guards deploy people who are not dressed according to the rules of Islam, some of them go to buy an Abaya right here. Who hasn't thought about it. As a result, it took an hour to get to the mosque. And of course we missed the sunset. I would like to say that we are fascinated by the views of the mosque, but... people, people, people…

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world. It is named in honor of the greatest and most revered Sheikh of the UAE. The most beautiful mosque is made of white marble, inside the courtyard is lined with colored stones in the form of paintings. In the prayer room there are huge chandeliers with Swarovski crystals, natural stones, covered with gold leaf. A huge handmade carpet is very impressive, which was brought by plane in parts and assembled into one single whole, it took 2 years to manufacture, and costs 8.2 million dollars. Everything is very beautiful, and most importantly, accessible to tourists. Of course, to get into the mosque, you need to go through a serious dress code. The UAE is a fabulous country in the middle of the desert, with its own customs and way of life.

An impressive place. One of the largest mosques in the world (8th place). You can get to the mosque building itself in a tunnel underground: on foot, by escalator or by electric car. After visiting, you can relax in a cafe or go shopping in the same tunnel. Don't forget about the dress code. I recommend it!

Like everything in the UAE, it is luxurious, majestic, and refined. Entrance is required in appropriate outfits, a headscarf is required. It can be purchased on site or from a guide. Strict dress code for both men and women. The beauty and art that appear before the eye are indescribable. There's no point trying to describe it. All from the Guinness Book of Records. I highly recommend seeing this with your own eyes.

There are no words, what a beauty! It is better to go closer to sunset, so that you can watch it during the daytime and with evening lighting. The clothes at the entrance are strictly treated. The whole body should be covered, nothing transparent. There is a shopping mall downstairs, if anything, you can buy any parts of the costumes there. It is very convenient to register on the website, come to the time, take an audio guide and walk, watch, admire.

It's an incredibly beautiful place. Before visiting, it is better to read the Wikipedia article about the mosque to make it more interesting and clearer what to look at. The dress code is very strict, you should dress appropriately in advance, as there are a million shops near the entrance where shawls and abayas are sold at exorbitant prices.

A beautiful large mosque, richly decorated with various ornaments. Female tourists, like men, go there in special long clothes, which the guide gave us. Everyone leaves their shoes at the entrance in special lockers, as is customary in the UAE in all mosques. There is a large courtyard surrounded by an oriental-style colonnade. Huge carpets are good, they also have a lot of floral patterns. just like on the walls. The chandelier is interestingly made of sparkling Swarovski crystals. Of course, those people who were born in a city with the Hermitage and other similar attractions (St. Petersburg) will not be particularly surprised by a mosque in the Emirates, but nevertheless, for this state it is a significant building that certainly adorns Abu Dhabi.

This place carried so many expectations, and in fact somehow even disappointed. Indeed, it was a huge mosque, but it seemed even bigger. The visit itself is a linear path along a paved corridor, there is no free inspection. In the rooms, terribly creaky plastic is laid on the floor, the sound of which completely knocks out contemplation. If you're going there to stop and think about the eternal, it probably won't be the best option.

A very beautiful mosque, a great opportunity for visitors of other faiths to get acquainted with the culture of Muslims. The staff is very polite and correct, will help and prompt. Mandatory dress code, long closed clothes (I had a shirt dress up to my ankles, missed it without any problems, the main thing was that my hands were closed to the wrists), closed shoes, socks!!!, covered head (for women)

There are a lot of people. The passage through the shopping center, everything is very long, you walk for 20-30 minutes. As a result, you come in to take a look from the side. I understand that there are a lot of people who want to, and this is a necessary measure so as not to spoil the carpets and coverings. Previously, it was better, quieter and more comfortable to enter directly through the main entrance, there were few people.

The mosque is very beautiful, impressive and leaves a deep impression. Every detail in the design of the mosque is made with great love and attention. It is immediately clear that the UAE was not at all limited in construction costs. I recommend definitely visiting even if you are not of the Muslim faith. Semi-precious stones, a lot of gold leaf and Svorovsky stones were used in the decoration. In general, well done. In addition, there is a lot of free parking in the underground garage and long rows of shops, a large selection of food court and even a children's playground

A big, beautiful and gorgeous mosque! We were very impressed! Especially at sunset to watch it and you can see how it looks during the day and after sunset! Inside, it's generally royal! It is also not far from the aquarium, you can get there by public transport, we advise you! The control system there is worse than the president's, it's just tin! Tips: Men have closed knees and shoulders, without drawings and inscriptions on clothes. Lighters are being taken away, perhaps something else. For women, everything is closed in the hem and the hands are closed by the hand, otherwise they will not be allowed to buy clothes there. You can walk around and find it for 45 dollars. Route. The mosque is accessed from the underground shopping complex. There is also registration for admission for free. There is no need to go to the mosque, everything is underground. After registering the passage at one end, go to the checkpoint at the other end, for inspection and inspection 4 times, and after 1-2 kilometers of the tunnel, fortunately on the travolator, you can climb. Photos are strictly from the places of photographing, but you can also take them from other places. If there are gestures or something else with poses, the guard will take you out and force you to delete the photo (and from the trash too) or simply require you to delete the photo.

The dress code was passed in trousers and a shirt with sleeves. The girl bought a handkerchief in advance. The QAR code showed at the entrance, but it wasn't even scanned. Then there is a long corridor and an excalator up to the mosque. We went for a walk, took pictures in the light and night lighting. The room with the carpet and chandelier was again asked for a password, which I did not save safely and could no longer open. It's good that the old one was saved, I showed it the next day and it rolled. Why scan it a second time is not clear. I liked the cleaners with mops, who walk around the territory like tractors plowing fields back and forth.
