I love love love this mosque so much and truly wished I had a lot more time there. It’s also breathtaking at night from what I saw on photos. If I ever head back to Abu Dhabi, this mosque will still be in my itinerary!

Thank you Jason! I just checked the hours and on Fridays, it’s open to public from 430 – 10pm. Such a pity you missed it, but a reason to come back! I had a lot of fun at the desert safari, hope you enjoyed it too!

Thanks for such an informative post. I lived several years ago and had forgotten much of that!

I was looking forward to visiting the Grand Mosque when I had a 20 hour layover last year, but it was Friday and closed to the public. Next time I suppose, but I went on a desert safari instead.

The first time I discovered the existence of this mosque was via Instagram too and I was besotted! The floors indoors were smooth and shiny for sure. Actually, shoes are kept on until you walk more inwards then there’ll be shoe-racks to place the shoes, so that you can walk further in and go to the main prayer (carpetted) hall. =)

Thank you so much for the compliments, Midori! *blushes* The dress code is the most important step to go through for planning a visit (other than how to get there). It was a fun experience to put on this traditional look for the short time too!

The carpet is one of the main highlights because so much effort went behind it, like a magic carpet! Actually, I’d refrained from putting too much info about the mosque as there is just a lot to shout about. The mosque must be seen in person to be believed.

You live in Dubai? Cool! I was in Dubai for a few days as well. Still not enough time though to cover all the sights!

I’ve been a few times now but still learnt more from your post. Some of those numbers are incredible. 41,000 worshippers at one time, wow, and I wasn’t aware the carpet was hand knotted. It certainly makes an impression. Thanks, Kristine!

Yeah Sheikh Zayed Mosque is indeed a masterpiece! I would love to see Taj Mahal for myself one day too!

It looks and sounds like an absolute masterpiece comparable to the Taj Mahal, would love to see it!
