[UAE] Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

This mosque was built in the name of Sheikh Zayed, the father of the UAE. It was completed in 2007 and is the resting place of Sheikh Zayed, who died in 2004. While many mosques are off-limits to non-Muslims, this mosque can be visited by non-Muslims as well.

1. The contrast between the white building and the blue sky
The contrast between white and blue is beautiful whether viewed from afar or up close. The marble floor shining in the sunlight is dazzling! Seriously... sunglasses are a must during the day.

I recommend the morning when the sky looks beautiful in contrast to the blue sky.

2. Illumination from dusk to night
Morning is good, but night is also good! You can't see the blue sky, but the mosque lit up is beautiful. I went at this time of day. The white mosque turns orange in the sunset, and then blue in the lights. I enjoyed the change of colors.

3. The gorgeous main hall
The world's largest Persian carpet (one seamless piece) and the glittering chandeliers decorated with Swarovski crystals make this a truly gorgeous venue.
