About Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque:

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world is also the epitome of stunning Islamic architecture. Inside white marble columns with mother-of-pearl engravings, expansive Iranian carpets, and intricate crystal chandeliers. A chandelier which is 15m tall, has a diameter of 10m and weighs 15 tonnes, controls the central gallery. 

The Mosque has an incredible view, with exterior surfaces covered in Sivec marble from Greece and Macedonia. The brilliant gold and white color that shines in the sun are changed after sunset by an extraordinary lightning system that recreates the moon’s phases. 

About The Activity:

  • Domes: A total of 82 domes form one of the mosque’s most astonishing features. The biggest of all domes can be found right in the midst of the main prayer hall. Clad in pure white marble, it’s enhanced by its crown-like design where its finials are finished in golden glass mosaic.
  • Ornate Columns: With more than 1,000 columns, each column that graces its exteriors and interiors covered in white marble and wreathed in several semi-precious and pure precious stones like amethyst, jasper, lapis lazuli etc. The main prayer hall alone is supported by 96 marble columns studded with the mother of pearl.
  • The Qibla Wall: It simply denotes the wall that faces the direction of prayers in Makkah. But what makes it special is its rich ornate details where the 99 pious names of Allah are inscribed in Kufic calligraphic script and its floral designs magnificently plumed using fiber-optic lighting.
  • The Courtyard: Sprawling over 17400 square meters and supported by four minarets, Sahan or courtyard is the vast open area of the mosque which is of indispensable use during Ramadan, Eid Al Fitr, and other significant Islamic occasions.

  • Lunar Lighting: One of the most recommended times to visit here is after dusk and this is partly due to its lighting system representing the diverse phases of the moon.
  • Reflective Pools: The strategically placed blue-tiled rectangular pools across the mosque well captures the reflections of columns, arcades, and other striking features, making it a sight to behold especially at the night.
