I'm not big into sightseeing but this place was a must. The carpet in the main prayer hall is the same acreage as 4 soccer pitches and was made by hand

The Grand Mosque was beyond description; beautiful yet full of reverance.Everyone should make the time to visit.

Fantastic spectacle, which is a must see if visiting Abu Dhabi. We had a tour guide as we were travelling in a large group, and this is recommended to anyone who isn't already knowledgeable about the mosque or the Islamic faith in general.

The Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque is definitely worth visiting. This is the first stop after boarding the BigBus tour from Wafi Mall in Dubai going to Abu Dhabi (free shuttle Dubai-AD-Dubai with bigbus tours, departing from Marina Mall going back to Dubai at 5pm) The place is amazing. The workmanship, the details and the vastness of this Mosque has impressed... More

I was not aware of the Grand Mosque until I went on a tour of Abu Dhabi and wow was I impressed. I was not appropriately dressed to go inside the mosque but the views from the outside were amazing.
