Known as one of the newest attractions in Abu Dhabi, located between Mussafah and Maqta Bridges, Abu Dhabi Zayed Grand Mosque boasts as the third largest mosque in the world. Being completely clad in marble, stones, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics, this mosque features traditional Islamic decorations and beautifully landscaped gardens making a lasting impression on the worshipper and onlooker alike.

Named after the founder of UAE, revered His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan for his achievements and service to the country, Zayed Grand Mosque spreads over an area of 22,000 square meters with a main prayer hall that can accommodate 5000 worshippers. The mosque hosts 82 domes that are designed in Moroccan style with the main dome being the largest in the world.

The Iranian carpet that decorates the main prayer hall is one of the key highlights of the mosque as it is recorded as the largest hand woven carpet in the world woven by 1500 Iranian women. The mosque also features seven 24-carat gold-plated chandeliers that are designed with thousands of Swarovski crystals. The largest of these chandeliers, which hangs from the main dome of the Mosque, is considered the biggest in the world.

This most imposing religious and national landmark in Abu Dhabi is regarded as an architectural treasure as it is a blend of Moroccan, Turkish, Italian, Iranian and Chinese architectural designs. Abu Dhabi Zayed Grand Mosque is a globally unifying landmark which brings a feeling of reverence and serenity and is a leading tourist attraction in Abu Dhabi.
