Welcome to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, UAE’s largest and most elegant decorated mosque, which attracts more than 4 million visitors each year. 

In 2018 the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was ranked as the world’s third favorite landmark surpassing the Taj Mahal and St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.

The mosque is estimated to have a cost of around $545 million. It took over 12 years to complete. It can hold up to 40,000 worshipers, and it currently holds three Guinness Records of the biggest chandelier, largest handwoven carpet, and largest dome of its kind in the world.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was named after UAE’s first president. He personally took the design’s architectural direction, where he wished for it to be his final resting place. Soon after he passed in 2004, his body was buried in the courtyard.

The astonishing mosque was the design of architect Yousef Aabdelky from Syria. Inspired by Moorish and Persian architecture, it was a very international design with over 300 artisans’ collaboration.

As a visitor here are some things for you to keep in mind when visiting Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque:

There is no entrance fee

Plan at least 2 to 3 hours to explore all areas, enjoy its beauty and take pictures.

Please be respectful, don’t be loud, wear pants and long sleeves, don’t bring any food or drinks inside. Women will be required to cover their heads with a scarf are provided at the entrance.

We recommend if your timing allows you to arrive in the afternoon, this will give you a chance to explore the mosque during the day and enjoy the beautiful architecture as the sun sets down. When the lights are turned on, this architectural masterpiece gets even more unique. 

Once you are done visiting Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque, make sure you stop by What Al Karma, located just across the street. At the center of this beautiful monument is the best place to take a fantastic photograph of the mosque, especially at night, with the water’s reflection you’ll have a beautiful image to remember your visit forever.
