Well worth a visit. Not overcrowded - even on a Saturday morning. Parking is close to the mosque. Remember to dress appropriately.

Simply divine, nothing to dislike. Exquisite work on marbles, beautifully crafted chandeliers, spacious courtyard and a golf art pick-up and drop-off service at parking bay.

The reason I went to Abu Dhabi was mainly to see the Grand Mosque there. And I think it worth me paying for a car and a driver for a day and spent almost an hour and 45 minutes single ride from the city of Dubai to Abu Dhabi, The Grand Mosque is truly beautiful no matter viewing it from... More

It is a very garnd and beautiful mosque, more importantly open for non muslims to know more about Islamic culture and the mosque itself as they have very nice tour guides

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
