If one is looking for an extravagant and luxurious getaway, what better place than the Middle East. The UAE has been one of the primary choices among tourists due to its relatively lenient policies and the Emirates being more ‘westernised’. However this does not mean there is any shortage of culture or heritage. One of the Emirates that has a large number of tourist arrivals is Abu Dhabi. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the highly significant religious monuments here. Consider staying at an Abu Dhabi island resort such as Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort, Abu Dhabi and set off on your excursions from here.
The dome of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is visible from the three bridges that connect the Abu Dhabi City Island to the mainland. The mosque’s location signifies that it is the heart of every UAE citizen and especially because it sits next to the burial place of Abu Dhabi’s first president.
The pure colour of the mosque is one of the key highlights. The marble used for the construction of the mosque was brought down from Macedonia. Every detail and artistic element was picked with great care to fit in with the overall vision of the structure. Various types of art forms are used to bring to life Islamic teachings. The colours of the walls, carpets and columns are all built in harmony to give the mosque a unique artistic feels. A visit to the mosque is a must do for anyone visiting the UAE.
