The Grande Mosque is amazing. It was finished in 2006 and is predominantly white marble, with gold. Craftsmen and women from all over the world have contributed their skills to building it. We highly recommend taking guided tour, to understand how many people were involved. Tours are free, and in multiple languages. Our guide was Shaima Abdulla, she explained the significance of everything we saw so well. There were so many things we would have missed without her to guide us.

An amazing architectural work of art, beautifully designed and executed. A tribute to the sacred world, a massive union of beauty in all details, the flowered mosaics make you feel the beautiful of the natural world and it elevates the spirit. Overwhelming beauty. As a top tourist attraction it is crowded, therefore one in the tour cannot free roam and has to follow the designated path and flow, but still can enjoy the beautiful place. A place one can visit in different times and occasions.

A spectacular place. We reached there around 10 AM. The place was alomst empty which was great as it gave us ample chance to enjoy the mosque. It got really crowded around 11 AM. Every hour, there is a free guided tour of the mosque, and we were lucky to be accompanied through the guide by Maha. She was very knowledgable, friendly and spoke very good English. The level of lavishness you will experience in this place is unprecedented in a religious establishment. The marble floors and columns with precious stones carved into them are amazing. The chandliers are breathtaking with their colors and size. Overall, a must visit attraction in Abu Dahbi. Be ware of the dress code before going, however, they do offer covers before entering the mosque for men and women, but you will have to return them afterwards.

A fascinating insight into the traditions and beliefs of Islam, provided to us by our passionate guide Miss Mona. She is very kind, intelligent and polite person. The mosque is overwhelming in its grandeur, but the intricacy of the detail continued over such a grand scale is breathtaking. Definitely a must on any visit to Abu Dhabi. Special thanks to Miss Mona. (Review From Tourguide)🙂

I visited last Thursday and attended the free guided tour at 10AM. Myself and husband were the only ones who joined the tour so we ended up receiving a private tour of the mosque from Mahmoud. Mahmoud was very professional and friendly throughout the visit. He drew our attention to so many of the beautiful elements of the mosque, enlightening us with his vast knowledge of the architecture and history of it. He was also able to answer all questions of the many questions we had. I would highly recommend visiting the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and joining one of the free guided tours. Mahmoud was a great tour guide and a real credit to the mosque.

We were lucky enough to join a free 10am tour with Mahmoud where somehow no one else joined so myself and my partner had an entirely private tour of the Mosque. Mahmoud was extremely friendly and knowledgable and he truly made the experience remarkable. Highly recommend the free guided tours and visiting such an outstanding and important piece of the culture in the UAE. Thank you Mahmoud!

Our visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in August 2023 was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Stepping into the mosque felt like entering a world of pure serenity and architectural marvel. The grandeur of its design and the intricate details left us in absolute wonder. The cleanliness and organization of the premises were exemplary, ensuring a peaceful and respectful atmosphere for all visitors. Our visit was a humbling and spiritually enriching experience, and it's a must-visit for anyone traveling to Abu Dhabi. This mosque is a true testament to human creativity and devotion.

Visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque recently. It is undoubtedly one of the architectural marvels of the world. Been to this wonderful place a few times in the last 15 years. Special thanks to Ms Zainab who took us on a free, guided cultural tour. We were provided with some interesting insights to the design of the Grand Mosque and local culture. A must see for any visitors to the UAE.

There is no doubt that Sheikh Zayed mosque is a masterpiece of a modern architecture, with white marble, beautiful mosaics, picturesque domes, beautiful lamps, carpets, etc. and it is definitely the highlight of UAE. So in total would say it is not to miss place and for sure is a number one attraction here. However prior to your visit bear in mind, that the staff was pretty strict, I was wearing long dress, covering almost everything, but I still had to buy abaya ( of a very bad quality but high price) , as you cannot borrow or even rent one anymore. However I seen people dressed less modestly compared to me but they did not have to buy abaya ( I guess they still differentiate between Muslims and non Muslims and way stricter with non Muslims, which I do not understand why, but that is how it is… Another thing , it is a very busy place, here you feel like you are in the airport with check point, security, crowds of people…. There are plenty of overpriced shops, restaurants in the whole complex, so do not know why they made a religious place like that, but OK. All in all it is still hard to miss this place and it is worth a visit.

Amazing place to visit. This religious site is impressive full of beauty everywhere you see. The government offers free tours inside the mosque and it is a must to take it. Our guide Raneen was very kind and answers all of our questions! Look for her in the tours.
