Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

This popular religious monument is as impressive inside as it is outside, with a unique lighting system powered exclusively by the moon, which only adds to the experience. Home to the world's largest crystal chandelier and the world's longest handwoven carpet, the majestic mosque is named after the founder of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Visitors are reminded to show respect and cover up when visiting the mosque, and women are required to cover their heads. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world. It is also an architectural marvel and a symbol of Islamic art and culture. Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi, the mosque is a snow-white marble splendor with intricate patterns, stunning domes, and the world's largest handwoven carpet.
