SHEIKH ZAYED GRAND MOSQUE TOUR (PRIVATE TOURS ONLY)
Experience the stunning white marble, towering domes, and world-record-breaking features of the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Join me for an unforgettable round-trip journey from Dubai to the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque* in Abu Dhabi.
As you step onto the mosque’s grounds, the brilliance of the gleaming white marble and the intricate palm-inspired columns will immediately captivate your senses. You’ll be drawn to the graceful arches, where floral and geometric motifs tell stories of craftsmanship from across the globe. Inside, the shimmering chandeliers and record-breaking carpet will catch your eye, while the serene prayer halls offer a glimpse into the peaceful practice of the five daily prayers, a central pillar of Islamic faith.
As we explore, you’ll learn not only about the mosque’s stunning construction which took over 11 years to build but also the significance of Islamic rituals, like the wudu washing before prayer and the importance of salat al-jumu‘ah, the Friday prayer. By the time we return to Dubai, you’ll be filled with inspiration, a sense of wonder, and a newfound appreciation for one of the world’s most stunning landmarks.
