Finally after being in Dubai for a total of 7 years (and counting), I got a chance to visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque,UAE's largest mosque, and some parts of Abu Dhabi. So YAY me!
Here's a short tour for y'all..

| Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi |
 |
| water pool in front of the mosque |
 |
| One of the entrance to the inner courtyard |
 |
| a glimpse of the inner courtyard |
 |
| floral design on inner courtyard |
 |
| ladies' ablution room, this is where they wash their hands, arms, feet & face before prayers |
 |
| the design outside the ladies' room |
 |
| drinking water outside the ladies' room |
 |
| columns, my fave part of the mosque |
 |
| entrance to the main prayer room |
 |
| another fave part of mine, the super soft carpet which happens to be the largest carpet in the world |
 |
| the main prayer hall |
 |
| another fave, 1 of the gorgeous 7 crystal chandeliers, those are Swarovski |
 |
| the prayer times in Arabic & English |
End of tour.
Hope you enjoyed the ride ;)
It looks beautiful. I haven't been there yet. I've only been to Abu Dhabi once and it seemed like a really boring place (sorry to the AD folks reading this!)
ReplyDeleteOh tell me about it! After SZGM, went straight to Abu Dhabi Marina Mall for dinner and to watch some movie. Was kinda disappointing, traffic was a bit heavy from Corniche, parking space around the mall and dining options inside the mall are very limited... Well, IDK, maybe I'm just so used to Dubai life :p
DeleteP.S. SZGM is indeed beautiful. Really majestic! I liked it more than Istanbul's Blue Mosque :)
DeleteI've always wanted to visit it. I just passed by it once...I've only been to the book fair in AD, but you took me on a beautiful journey
ReplyDeleteP.S thank you for stopping by my blog
