What To Expect
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque stands out as one of the world’s largest mosques, and the only one that captures unique interactions between Islam and world cultures. Sheikh Zayed's vision for the Grand Mosque was to incorporate architectural styles from different Muslim civilizations and celebrate cultural diversity by creating a haven that is truly diverse and inspirational in its foundation. The mosque’s architects were British, Italian and Emirati, and design inspiration was borrowed parts of Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan, and Egypt among other Islamic countries, revealing a glistening architectural marvel with an astonishing capacity of 40,000 worshippers and visitors. The open-door policy invites tourists and celebrants from all around the world who can witness the spectacular onion-top domes, the reflective pools that engulf the courtyard and the iconic prayer hall, which not only overflows with blissful sunlight but also houses the world’s biggest chandelier and carpet, both meticulously handmade. Be sure to spot the calligraphy encircling the hollows of the domes, etched with verses from the Quran and painted with gold leaves in An-Naskh lettering.

Disappointing content for a 'tour '

2.00To be fair to our driver our flight was delayed arriving at Abu Dhabi so it cut short or time for the tour. That said, we did tell our driver yet he was still late in collecting us. Then we had an hours drive around the city (all on main roads away from any local life) telling us facts about history and pointing out buildings (?). Arriving at the grand mosque at 10.15. we been told it opened at 10 so why 10.15 I don't know. Only then were we advised on what clothes were needed to be respectful. We also then learned it takes about another 15 mins to actually get into the mosque. Our driver did not come with us but left us to enter on our own. What sort of tour is that? It could really have been planned so much better. We could have just got a taxi to the mosque for FAR less cost. Instead of just driving us around the city couldn't we have seen something better? A local market perhaps. Not recommended
Poor communication...

5.00Rahim did a nice job of showing us the sights and was very flexible in adapting the itinerary to what we wished to do. He gave us interesting information about life in Abu Dhabi.
False advertising

2.00Basically it is not a tour, but a driver (Ansar in our case) with clean, but old Toyota minivan instead of advertised luxury car. He just pointed you at dune levees and telling they names instead of real tour. There is solely no tour inside of mosque - he left us in the lobby and we have to go by our selfs. If you increased in actual tour of Abu Dhabi look for other companies
Absolutely wonderful!!

5.00Excellent! Our driver Ansar was very kind, helpful, and punctual. He made our layover very enjoyable and showed us so much in our short time. Highly recommend this company, we would hire them again without hesitation.
