Things To Know About The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

How to get to the grand mosque from dubai, more facts and visitor information to know about visiting the sheikh zayed grand mosque as a tourist, best accommodation near the grand mosque in abu dhabi, more to see in abu dhabi.

Before diving into the details of how to get there, let’s look at just a few fabulous facts about the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (and why it is absolutely worth the day trip from Dubai !)

The Grand Mosque is named after the country’s founding father, the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan “May Allah rest his soul in peace”.
The Mosque is an active house of worship, capable of housing 41,000 worshippers at capacity – 10,000 inside and 31,000 in the external courtyards.
The building of the Mosque was completed in 2007 with the craftsmanship of 38 contractors and thousands of workers from around the world.
It holds several “largest in the world” claims to fame – including the largest hand-woven carpet at 5,627 sqm and the largest marble mosaic floor in its 17,000 sqm courtyard.
HH Sheikh Zayed is laid to rest in a mausoleum on the Mosque grounds. Two Imans read the Quran here 24 hours a day.

There are limited public transport options between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, as we discuss here , so our best-recommended method of getting from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to see the Grand Mosque are:

Take A Taxi – approximately 1.5 hours, depending on where you set out from; expect to pay around AED 300-350 one-way for a metered taxi .
Join A Tour Group – 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the departure point and how many pickups they make. A tour guide, meals, and multiple tourist stops are likely to be thrown in, so the price is very variable per person – more below!
Hire a Private Driver – taking approximately 1.5 hours; this is the best choice if you prefer door-to-door service and like the personal touch – ideal if you are a family or small group looking to split the cost. You can try a service such as GetTransfer to have private drivers bid on your journey and get a competitive price.
Self Drive – 1 to 1.5 hours – If you are a confident driver, pick up a hire car in Dubai and take the E11 all the way to Abu Dhabi.
Take a public bus – 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on your starting point; more below!

Public Transport Dubai to Abu Dhabi to see the Grand Mosque

There are two different Intercity bus routes that you can take from Dubai to central Abu Dhabi, each costing AED 25 one way.

The first bus leaves from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station ( Route 100 ) approx every 20-35 minutes and terminates at Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station (Al Wadha Mall)
The second leaves from Ibn Battuta Mall ( Route 101 ) approx every 20-35 minutes and also terminates at Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station.

From Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station , you then need to catch a local Abu Dhabi bus service 94 to the Grand Mosque.

Note you can use your Nol card to get to Abu Dhabi on the InterCity bus, but from the Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station to the Grand Mosque, you need a Hafilat card to use local public transport in the capital.

You can learn more about the public bus service from Dubai to Abu Dhabi here

Once you’re in Abu Dhabi, tourists can also avail the FREE Visit Abu Dhabi shuttle buses . They are not super frequent, but if you’re travelling on a budget, these can be a great way to get about in Abu Dhabi. Look for Route B2 (stops near Al Wadha Mall) to take you to the Grand Mosque.

Organised Tours From Dubai to Abu Dhabi

You can join a larger tour group and simply use this as a form of transportation or hire a personal guide and driver.

This can certainly take the stress out of self-driving, but do note a lot of the tour buses from Dubai arrive “en masse”. If you want crowd-free photos, self-driving , taxi or private Abu Dhabi tours are the better way to go.

Do I need to be Muslim to visit?

Not at all. The Grand Mosque is open to everyone as long as they treat it in a respectful way (including conservative dress).

There are certain areas of active worship and Friday mornings when visits are limited to worshippers only.

Otherwise, you can attend the Grand Mosque any time during opening hours.

What should I wear to the Grand Mosque ?

It is always advisable as a tourist in Abu Dhabi to dress conservatively . The Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque – and in fact, any religious or Government building in the UAE – has a much higher dress standard than, say, a Mall or public promenades.

For women, you must have arms and legs completely covered and your head. The only skin that can show is your hands, feet, and face. If you are not adequately dressed (don’t worry, this applies to most tourists), you will be sent to purchase an abaya or Shayla in the adjoining boutiques as you enter the mosque. These are around AED 40 – 80 for something cheap.

This is all part of the experience, so embrace it! But please don’t think this means you should wear the skimpiest outfit underneath!

For men, they should be in long trousers and sleeves. If they have shorts on, they will also be asked to purchase something more suitable before entering.

Please note! since COVID the ability to hire appropriate clothing for free to enter the Grand Mosque has been suspended and doesn’t look like it will return. If you turn up with in appropriate clothing, you will be redirected by security staff to a small strip of shopping boutiques to buy the right attire. They are relatively inexpensive, but you may want to BYO from Dubai if you’re hitting the souks , consider it a souvenir of your time in the UAE!

Security stringently enforces the appropriate wearing of your outfits throughout your visit – you can find a really detailed guide to the Grand Mosque dress code here.

Note, part of the tour involves you taking off your shoes to walk through the Mosque itself; consider nice socks too, or having your toenails painted for this!! And remember where you left your shoes!!!

Do I need to pay to go into the Grand Mosque?

It’s absolutely free. The Mosque is for the people; as such, no charge is levied on worshippers or visitors. Even cultural tours are provided for free.

However, they will issue you an entry ticket where you need to give some personal details. This can be done online in advance here to save time.

Do I need to book a tour of the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi?

If you come with a tour guide, they may include a personal tour guide within the price you paid.

Otherwise, the best alternative option to make sure you get the best out of your Grand Mosque visit is to get involved with one of the FREE mosque cultural tours .

These are held throughout the day with no need to pre-book.

How To Visit The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Dubai!

Categories Middle East , UAE

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi also known as the Grand Mosque is quite a sight to be seen, and when you visit Dubai you need to travel to Abu Dhabi to see it! I spent 1 week in Dubai and on one of those days I took a day trip to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque from Dubai with my friend who lives in Dubai as she works for Emirates and it was a highlight of my time in Dubai!

You can get the bus to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Dubai or you can get a taxi as we did. Below is how to do both of these options going from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Dubai!

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Dubai by Bus

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and its 150km South of Dubai. There’s a bus that runs from Dubai’s Downtown bus station to Abu Dhabi regularly (although I couldn’t find the exact times online), takes 2 hours and costs 25 AED/ £4.50.

However, after realising just how big Dubai is, how long it takes to get around and the fact that we would have needed to get a taxi from my friend’s apartment to the bus station to get the bus and then get a taxi from Abu Dhabi bus station to the Mosque totalling in a good 3+ hours each way plus 4 taxi fares we decided to just get a taxi from my friend’s apartment straight there.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Dubai by Taxi

Going via taxi from Dubai to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi did cost a lot more at 250-275 AED/ £45-£50 each way but the drive only took us 90 minutes each way and the mosque is free to enter so that helped save on costs.

Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi run’s free guided tours 3 times a day (except Fridays) at 10:00 am, 11:00 am and 5:00 pm.

We, unfortunately, got there just after 10:00 am just missing the tour but I really recommend you do plan your visit to go to one of the guided tours so you can learn more about the mosque and more about Islam.

As we arrived at the Mosque from the main road and made our way up to it and it was even bigger than I imagined. We got out of the taxi and made our way up to the entrance and it was so bright with the sun shining off that it hurt our eyes and we were glad we had sunglasses!

Update: If I was to do this trip again I’d do an organised tour from Dubai to Abu Dhabi so we had a guide to show us around the Mosque and be able to see some of Abu Dhabi City at the same time:

Straight away we had our phones and camera’s out as I could see the iconic gold and white detailed pillars with the water in front of them that I had seen in so many photos but first we were directed downstairs to get covered up!

I wasn’t sure what to wear to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque as a female. I had worn a black maxi dress, took my own headscarf and something to cover my arms thinking that this would be fine but the impression I got is that they like you to wear their Abaya (full black dress) and to be fair they weren’t as bad as I thought they would be!

The Abaya had a hood which will cover your hair and top of your head but we decided to use our own headscarf to add some colour which I recommend!

All covered up

We headed back upstairs and started to walk around unable to stop taking photos. We walked through all the pillars, into the centre of the Mosque and then into the prayer room which was filled with many beautiful chandeliers and a very soft carpet and I said to my friend how amazing it would be if you were Muslim and this just happened to be your local Mosque.

Once outside we walked around again some more but by then the heat was really getting to us in all of our layers.

The centre of the Mosque

One of the many beautiful chandeliers!

We were there for a good hour or so and although the actual structure is very big, there isn’t a huge amount of walking to be done and soon you are back to where you started.

Overall we really enjoyed it. We did consider not going due to the time it would take to get there on the bus from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and the cost of the taxi but I don’t regret going one bit!

Sheikh Zayed Mosque Travel Tips

I had been advised that getting there for when the sun is setting is a beautiful time with the light filtering in so if you can go at sunset then do!

There’s nothing else surrounding the Mosque. Initially, I thought we could visit and then get a coffee somewhere before heading back to Dubai but it didn’t seem possible to walk anywhere from the Mosque.

Taxis were waiting outside and even in Dubai, all the taxi drivers know where it is as it’s a really popular destination so no need to worry about that.

Make sure you take sunglasses! All of the white plus the sun was pretty blinding!

Sheikh zayed grand mosque: the complete guide.

Juergen Sack/Getty Images

For an experience that combines architectural wonder with spiritual contemplation, no trip to the United Arab Emirates is complete without a visit to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. A 90-minute drive from Dubai, this breathtaking mosque is one of the largest in the world, spanning 30 acres and with capacity for up to 40,000 worshippers. More than just another photo opportunity for your Instagram feed, a visit to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a soul-stirring experience–and one that will leave a lasting impression.

A Brief History

Completed in December 2007, this spectacular space was built in honour of the first ruler of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is buried within the grounds. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque took 11 years to construct and cost and eye-popping 2 billion dirhams ($545 million). The result is an architectural marvel of gleaming white marble, 24-karat gold details and intricate stonework featuring semi-precious stones, such as lapis lazuli, amethyst, red agate and mother of pearl.

The mosque has 82 domes, more than 1000 columns, and one of the world’s largest chandeliers, a 33-foot, 12-ton extravaganza that graces the main prayer hall. Underneath this eye-popping light fixture lies the largest hand-knotted carpet on Earth, which took 1,200 artisans two years to make.

And while all of this opulence may sound excessive, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is far from gaudy. Instead, this spiritual site is a place of serenity and introspection, with graceful reflection pools and a sprawling central sahan (courtyard) surrounded by colonnaded walkways.

This marble masterpiece is spectacular at any time of day, but it becomes other-worldly come sunset. Time your visit to coincide with the evening call to prayer, as the muezzin’s melodic chant echoes through the courtyard and worshippers flock to the main prayer hall. Once the sun goes down, the mosque is illuminated in an awe-inspiring light show that mirrors the phases of the moon, bathing the white marble facade in ever-changing shades of lilac and blue.

As this is a place of Muslim worship, modesty is a must when visiting Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. That means no short, transparent or tight clothing–men and women must wear loose-fitting, ankle-length trousers or skirts, and have their arms covered.

Ladies, you’ll also have to wear a headscarf at all times, and even if you feel like you’ve nailed the dress code and brought your own scarf along, chances are you’ll be ushered into the changing rooms at the entrance and handed an abaya , a long hooded robe to wear over your clothes.

It’s also worth noting that the mosque is a shoe-free zone, so be prepared to leave your footwear at the communal racks inside.

Don’t Leave Without…

Paying a visit to the washrooms. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is home to some of the most stunning facilities we’ve ever seen. As ablution (ritual washing of the feet and hands) is central to Islamic worship, the underground washrooms are astonishing spaces of marble and semi-precious stones.

Food and Drink

You can’t take any food or drink inside the mosque grounds, but there is a branch of The Coffee Club at the North Gate entrance (near the souvenir shop) to refuel before or after your visit.

Opening hours

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday to Thursday (last entrance at 9:30 p.m.). On Friday mornings, the mosque is open to worshippers only, with general admission commencing at 4:30 p.m. During the Holy Month of Ramadan, the mosque is open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (closed Fridays). As prayer timings change each day, it’s worth checking the timetable when planning your trip.

Complimentary one-hour guided tours run each day, offering insight into the architectural elements of the mosque and providing an introduction to the Islamic civilization. Tours run at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday to Thursday; 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday; and 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Getting There

If you’re based in Dubai, you could join a one-day bus tour to Abu Dhabi, including a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, with pick-up and drop-off at your hotel. If you’d prefer a more personalized experience, jump in a taxi for the 90-minute drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, for a cost of around 250 dirham each way. While you’re in town, pay a visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi , a 20-minute drive from the mosque.

Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque on a day trip from Dubai

On our trip to Dubai in February we really wanted to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Here’s how to get there from Dubai, what to wear and what to expect.

Why visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque?

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is one of the biggest mosques in the world, with a capacity of 40,000. It’s located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi city centre, and is impossible to miss – as you get closer you start to see the dazzling white domes (82 of them) and four minarets on the horizon, and as you reach the entrance it’s impossible not to be amazed by the mosque’s scale and beauty.

The outside of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi

Do I need to be a Muslim to visit?

No. The mosque is very welcoming to visitors of all faiths, as long as you respect the simple “Mosque Manners” rules, which include dressing conservatively, not taking photos of people praying and not sleeping.

The "Mosque Manners" rules are simple to follow

How to get to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque from Dubai

There are three options (before the hyperloop opens, that is!) if you don’t have your own wheels.

By taxi – 1 hour 30 minutes

The quickest and most expensive option. We ended up taking a taxi as we were limited on time. From our hotel in Downtown Dubai to the mosque cost around AED 350. The taxi back to Ibn Battuta Mall cost under AED 300 (we’d planned to get the bus to return to Dubai but it was pouring with rain). Despite the long journey, we didn’t have any trouble finding a taxi driver willing to make the trip. It’s worth noting that although Dubai taxi drivers are meant to take credit cards, ours didn’t. He was happy to stop at a service station on the way so I could get cash out though.

By bus – 2 hours+

There are regular buses from Al Ghubaiba bus station in the Bur Dubai area to Abu Dhabi. These are non-stop to Abu Dhabi bus station, take 2 hours and cost AED 25. From the Abu Dhabi bus station, you’ll need to get a local bus or a taxi to the mosque. This is definitely the cheapest option but takes a lot longer than the other two.

By organised excursion – full day

Big Bus Dubai and other tour companies run excursions to Abu Dhabi which include the mosque. These would be a long day but are probably worth it if you don’t fancy the public bus and want to see other attractions in Abu Dhabi like Ferrari World.

What should I wear to visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque?

The mosque provides clear guidance on their website . Women should be covered from the neck, to the wrist and to the ankle, and have their hair covered. Men should have their shoulders and knees covered. I wore a maxi skirt and a high-necked t-shirt with a denim jacket on top and a scarf covering my hair and was waved through by the mosque staff at the entrance.

If your clothing doesn’t meet the requirements you can borrow an abaya to wear over the top. You’ll need to take your shoes off when you go inside the main mosque building so make sure you wear your best socks.

What to expect

When you reach the mosque the first building you’ll go into holds airport-style security and a check that you’re dressed appropriately. Once through (and dressed in your abaya, if they want you to wear one), you’ll be inside the complex. There’s no entry fee, visiting the mosque and taking the guided tour are completely free.

You’ll pass immaculate gardens and water features before you step inside the arcade which surrounds the mosque’s huge central courtyard, where 30,000 people can pray.

If you want to take a guided tour (and you should!), follow the signs to the meeting point. There are regular tours, although when we were there the latest one was at 11am before a long wait for one at 5pm, so check the mosque’s website before you set off. If you’re in a small group you don’t need to book to join a guided tour. While you’re waiting for the tour you’re free to wander around, take photographs or visit the café and gift shop.

The starting point for the free guided tour

The tour guide will give you a headset and then will take you around the mosque on a 45 minute guided tour. Our guide was a local Emirati man who was very interesting and funny as he told us about the features of the mosque, including the record-breaking carpet, Islam and life in the UAE. At the end there was the opportunity to ask questions.

What will surprise you about the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque?

The most astonishing thing about the mosque is its beauty. The marble is stunning and the inlaid mother of pearl on every column and all across the floor in floral and botanical designs is amazingly beautiful.

I was surprised by the warmth and humour of our guide, and by the feeling of joy in the mosque itself – the beautiful twinkling chandeliers, the soft carpet and the calligraphy. For some reason, I thought that it’d be a solemn, silent place but it really doesn’t feel that way.

The inside of the mosque and the world's largest carpet

Coming from the UK where almost all our cathedrals are hundreds of years old, it was a huge surprise to me that it was only opened in 2007, and every time I forgot and felt like I was in an old building, there was a little touch to remind me; escalators to get to the toilets and washing facilities; the biggest sliding door I’ve ever seen to get into the main prayer hall; fibre optic lights in the walls; an electronic display showing prayer times across the world.

I was also really surprised that photography was allowed in most places in the mosque. Unless you do a Rhianna or otherwise don’t follow the rules, you’ll be able to take as many photos as you want.

Is it worth visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque from Dubai?

Absolutely. It’s quite a long way from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and a bit expensive in a taxi but it’s definitely worth making the journey, especially if you take the guided tour. Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was one of the highlights of my trip to the UAE.

The mosque is one of the world’s largest and was the vision of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan – the Founding Father of the UAE. He envisaged the creation of a welcoming and cultural haven that inspires people from all backgrounds. Even the construction was a cultural collaboration.

Thanks for your comment, it’s a wonderful place to visit for everyone.

Gracias por ilustrarnos de una forma sencilla y práctica sobre el viaje.

Una pregunta: Con que moneda es más práctico viajar a Dubai. Gracias

Hi, thank you for your comment. I hope I’ve got this right but I think you’re asking about the best currency to take to Dubai. I mostly paid on my debit card, but for things like taxis and taking an abra across the Dubai Creek, it was useful to have some dirhams (AED). It was never a problem getting cash out from ATMs.

Wow, I can’t imagine actually being there. This is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Props to the photographer *wink* *wink* lol. Another destination added to the list!

Haha thank you!

Loved the interior photos of the mosque. What a beauty! Have you been to Istanbul? They have gorgeous mosques there too

Thank you, it is absolutely gorgeous, and so welcoming. I’ve passed through Istanbul with work but haven’t had the chance to see their beautiful mosques unfortunately!

Wow, what a beautiful place to visit! Definitely adding this mosque to my itinerary if I ever visit Abu Dhabi.

It’s definitely a must-see in Abu Dhabi. It’s so big don’t think you could miss it anyway!

Gosh the pictures !! It looks beautiful, so jealous 😀

The mosque is gorgeous, one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen 🙂

Wow this is stunning. I have seen photos and want to go! I went to Brunei strictly to see the incredible mosques there. I am not religious but I find religious buildings fascinating.

Same here, we’re spoiled where I live in the UK as we have loads of gorgeous cathedrals but the mosque is so different to anything we have here.

The mosque looks magnificent! I really want to visit someday. Thanks for the detailed guide about how to get there and what to expect inside.

Thank you! I hope you get there 🙂

This really is stunning and has inspired me to make sure I see it some day! Great writing, too… 😊 Thanks for posting!

Thank you so much! It’s an inspiring place.

Ok, this looks pretty amazing. But I’m stumped on that etiquette sign, what is the acceptable manner with the arrows? Top right corner.

Hi Brandy, you know what, I’m actually not sure! There were set walkways so perhaps it’s telling you not to wander all over the place? Visitors also had to stay clear of areas where people were praying so it might be to do with that.

That looks beautiful! I never really visit churches (or mosques because I haven’t been anywhere that has them) but I would love to see this in person!

Such a great article! I’m planning to visit Dubai later and was toying up between a few nights an Abu Dhabi or a day trip…great to hear it’s possible! Also your website is beautiful 🙂

It’s definitely possible. If the weather hadn’t been so horrible and rainy we would definitely have stuck around in Abu Dhabi to see the other sights. I think if you want to visit Ferrari World or if you go when the art museums have opened you’d need a couple of days. And thank you!

I love this Mosque!! It’s one of the best Muslim I ever visited!

It’s gorgeous isn’t it!

I’ve always seen such beautiful pictures of the outside, but the inside pictures are just as stunning! I definitely want to see this one day! Pinned! #blogpostsaturday

Thank you! The mosque amazed me with how beautiful and calm it is inside but also how high tech and modern.

This is amazing! I remember when I visited my first mosque (the National Mosque of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur) and was amazed how beautiful it was! I’m glad there are shawls that you can borrow in case you need it.

I’ve visited! Definitely a highlight of my trip to UAE, this mosque is soooooo stunnnninnnggg. Reading your post brought me back to the mosque again. Did you notice the bathing areas before the toilets? They were so grand! No photos allowed even though it wasn’t open to being used, so I didn’t take any.

I did, aren’t they gorgeous! I really wanted to take a photo too!

wow this is so beautiful! I’ve never visited a mosque like this but it seems really incredible – really nice photos 🙂

Lovely photos <3. I didn’t know that Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. The marble is stunning ! For sure, you have to keep in mind that this is a place of worship and be respectful. You have to follow the dress code but it is good to know that you can borrow an abaya (traditional robe) before you enter the mosque.

This looks insanely beautiful. I have never really looked at many photos of the mosque though having heard of it before. Now that I read your post, I really want to go and see this beautiful place for myself. I thought it was really cool that you mentioned everyone is welcome there if you’re willing to follow the rules and that you could ask you tour guide all sorts of questions, sounds very openminded to me 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Yes it was really welcoming, there were people in our guided tour group from all over the world. The guide was very patient and helpful and answered everything he was asked, even when the person asking felt a bit embarrassed to be asking it!

Wow, the Grand Mosque looks absolutely stunning! It’s been on our bucket list for a while now, but we haven’t made it to Dubai yet. I didn’t know it was only built in 2007 either! Very interesting and informative post, added it to our digital bucket list for when we make it there some day. 😉 Thanks!

Thank you! I kept forgetting it was so new!

Dubai on a budget: 11 things to see, do and eat.

How to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi

Not only is it one of the most architecturally magnificent buildings in the world, but it is also an active house of worship accommodating up to 41,000 people. The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is also the resting place of the Founding Father of the United Arab Emirates, the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan “May Allah rest his soul in peace” .

Located at the entrance to the city on Abu Dhabi island, it’s hard to miss the Grand Mosque with its pristine white walls, domes and minarets during the day. Or maybe you prefer its soft nighttime glow and awe-inspiring silhouette? It is undoubtedly a modern wonder.

So how do you visit the Grand Mosque?

You can book an Abu Dhabi tour from Dubai with a visit to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque including a visit to other tourist attractions. Alternatively, if you just want to explore Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque we recommend you to book Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque tour only. A private tour will allow you plenty of time to explore at your own pace and is the best option if this is your first time in Abu Dhabi.

Interesting facts to know about the Grand Mosque

The Grand Mosque has been open for worship since 2007. The Mosque was built to honour the country’s Founding Father, considered a visionary leader who believed nothing was impossible.
Sheikh Zayed is in fact laid to rest on the Grand Mosque site. His mausoleum is in a separate building outside the main mosque complex, (out of respect no photos are allowed here).
Muslim worshipers actively use the Grand Mosque throughout the week, accommodating 10,000 in the internal and 31,000 in the external areas – they reach capacity during Ramadan & Eid celebrations.
There were more than 38 contractors and thousands of workers from around the world involved in completing various elements of the structure and decoration. Sourcing long-lasting materials and expert craftsmanship were of paramount importance.
The architectural style is made from a combination of Mamluk, Ottoman and Fatimid styles – described as “A fusion of Arab, Persian, Mughal and Moorish” to fuse the diverse Islamic world with art and beauty – the result is simply stunning.
It holds several “ largest in the world ” claims to fame – including the largest hand-woven carpet at a whopping 5,627 sqm and the largest marble mosaic floor in its 17,000 sqm courtyard.
A recent TripAdvisor survey ranked the Grand Mosque as the second most popular landmark in the world, only behind Machu Picchu in Peru.

Relective waters Shiekh Zayed Grand Mosque

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open to the public seven days a week from 9am until 10pm (only closed Friday’s 12:00pm to 3:00 for prayers) – we recommend you get in as early as possible in the day to avoid the heat and inevitable crowds.
Entrance is FREE, you must only pass through security screening.
Do note systems have recently changed and you do need to register to enter the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, but there is no charge.
Respectful dress must be worn inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque grounds at all times. For everyone, this means long trousers and for women, arms and head must also be covered.
If you are not well enough covered, there is a dressing room available at security before entering the Mosque grounds. Women can hire abayas (full-length robes) or shaylas (a head covering only) free of charge here.
Men with shorts above the knee may also be asked to hire a Kandura – white long-sleeved robe.
NB – clothing rental has been suspended during COVID – you’ll need to bring your own respectful covering or buy one at the small souq attached to the mosque.

Try and arrive in time for a free guided tour . Conducted in English or Arabic by fabulously well-versed Emirati volunteers, they will talk you through many of the important architectural features of the building and answer any of your questions. Due to popular demand, there are now multiple free tours per day of either 30 minutes or 45-minute duration; see timings below.
You must be present before the tour start time to receive your headsets, so arrive in plenty of time – you can freely tour the rest of the Mosque and grounds after your tour.
There is now a FREE audio eGuide you can pick up to accompany you on your tour around the mosque, available in 11 languages (you must leave a photo ID).
There is a small coffee and gift shop on the grounds, but no food or drinks are allowed inside the Grand Mosque itself. Feeding children outside the main courtyard is fine.
There are a number of luxury hotels nearby where you can get excellent meals (the Ritz Carlton , Hilton Capital Grand) , or cheaper options not far away include Zayed Sports City, Holiday Inn or the Officer’s Club where restaurants are open to the public.
More on how to get there from Abu Dhabi and Dubai below.

We have taken our young children to the Grand Mosque on many different occasions and at many different ages. And it is honestly hard work.

Small children have little patience for architectural marvelling. Unlike many sites in the Middle East where children can freely explore, the Grand Mosque is carefully guarded and rules must be adhered to; there is no swinging on ropes, inside voices must be used, and touching many parts of the building is strictly NOT allowed – all with good reason! It is, after all, a place of holy significance, not just a tourist attraction.

But the Grand Mosque is a must-not-miss attraction of the UAE. How do you find some balance and harmony to make your Grand Mosque trip worthwhile for you all?

Around the courtyard, grounds, and the outer perimeter of the Grand Mosque , surfaces are flat and it’s easy to manoeuvre a stroller. You cannot, however, take your strollers onto the mosque’s carpeted floor.
Strollers must be parked outside where everyone takes off their shoes before entering, and you’ll need to carry your valuables.
Once inside, there are several roped-off areas where children cannot go. For little wanderers, you may want reins or a sling to carry your smaller ones as they do not take fondly to people crossing over the roped line.
A slow walk around the inside may take upwards of 15-20 minutes if you’re a details person.
Young children do not need to be covered , but it’s advisable for children from adolescence onward to be covered in the same way as adults – full arms and legs, and also head for women.
Women and men have separate entrances, but your group can rejoin immediately after. Young boys can go with their mothers.
Your robes must be respectfully worn for the duration of your visit once inside the courtyard walls, avoiding exposed skin (easier said than done when children are tugging off you, I know).

( Top tip – if you really fancy the idea of dressing up and experiencing part of the local culture, then you can deliberately come with uncovered legs to be sent to the clothing hire room – there is no problem or shame with this)

Extend your trip to the Grand Mosque by also visiting Wahat Al Karama – translated “oasis of dignity” . The 45,000 sqm monument is located across the freeway from the Grand Mosque, next door to the Ritz Hotel and the General Headquarters of the UAE Armed Forces. The site is a permanent tribute and war memorial to honour the UAE’s martyred soldiers and other Emiratis who sacrificed their lives for the service of the nation.

The site includes a Memorial with distinctive aluminium-clad slabs resting on one another, a Memorial Plaza with a beautiful reflective pool and a Pavillion of Honour. Open 9am to 10.45pm daily.

Free entrance.

View of the Grand Mosque from Wahat al Karama | How to photograph the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

Absolute number 1 rule; remain respectful of where you are at all time. Group shots are not allowed; wandering onto the central courtyard without permission is not allowed; Gratuitous selfies are just plain inappropriate. Remember it’s first and foremost a house of worship.
It can be hard work, especially on the ladies trying to get the right pose (for your camera, not your selfie) but not reveal your skin! Wearing something long under your abaya will reduce accidental reveals.
For the best chance of getting a crowd-free shot, you must be there for the opening time at 9am. Late evenings after Isha (final prayers) it can be quieter too for some moody reflective shots.
From up close, it’s really hard to get everything in one shot! If you don’t have a wide-angle lens, you may need to use panorama or stitch features if your smartphone or camera has these.
There are many reflective ponds that you can use to catch the light at its best.
Play with the detail; there is so much detail that often gets overlooked in favour of the grand shots! Check out the intricate marble work, the archways, the stain-glassed windows. The light will play with you no matter the time of day.
For the best distance shots, head to Wahat Al Karama. Either drive or taxi over (the roads are a little complicated!) or if parked at the Mosque, head to the front by foot and you’ll find a footbridge that takes you across the freeway to the war memorial. Not only will you get to observe another part of the UAE’s very recent history, but you will also get some of the best views of the Grand Mosque over the stunning reflective pond.
Golden hour is, of course, the best time – but evenings are very busy. If you are enthusiastic and really want that plum shot, get up early and head to Wahat Al Karama at dawn on a clear day (though those can be few and far between, most mornings you will find a little haze and slightly grey skies).
In the winter, you can get fogs too, making wonderful moody photos that are very hard to predict and capture.
Be prepared for the humidity in the warmer summer months. Using a DSLR? Let your camera warm-up before you are ready to shoot, keeping the lens cap on until you are ready.
Beware of others in your photos, local ladies particularly should not be photographed without permission.

The closest hotel and the only one that is really walking distance if the weather is cool enough is T h e Ritz Carlton . This imposing hotel is immediately over the freeway connected by the pedestrian bridge to Wahat Al Karama. It’s also one of our top recommended stays for families with its restaurants and facilities if budget permits.

The best distance views of the Mosque are captured from Bab al Bahr, where there are several hotels, including the Fairmont , Traders Hotel and the Shangri-La. When staying at these hotels you will likely be charged more for a waterside/mosque view room but waking up to see this stunning beauty? Completely worth it!

From any hotel in central Abu Dhabi or from Yas Island it is an easy taxi drive, and plentiful drivers wait in the taxi ranks to take you to your next destination.

Visiting the Grand Mosque from Dubai

Even if you are staying in Dubai, the Grand Mosque is still frequently suggested as part of an itinerary. Note that you are just over 1 hour drive without heavy traffic from Downtown Dubai to the Mosque. You can hire a taxi (looking at 300AED roughly), a private car (slightly more depending on size/quality of vehicle), or look into joining a shared organized tour.

Our complete guide on how to transit between Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be found here

Below are some of our Get Your Guide partner suggestions for tour companies.

Can you visit the Grand Mosque during an AUH stopover?

If you are squeezing in a visit between flights from Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), it’s only a 15-20 minute drive away by taxi. Allow yourself at least a 4-hour stopover with time to clear immigration at both ends. An airport taxi adds a 25AED flag fall, so expect a taxi to the Mosque to cost about 60-65AED. Your return taxi will be about 40AED. There is a taxi rank at the Grand Mosque.

If you are on a budget and coming from AUH via bus, the closest stopping point for the A1 route is at Zayed Sports City. The fare at the time of writing is 4AED per person one way. It’s then approximately a 15-20 minute walk back to the Grand Mosque – not recommended in the summer heat but you may be able to catch a shorter taxi ride from ZSC to the Grand Mosque.

You can see our complete Abu Dhabi Stopover guide here

As of 2022, the opening time for tourists to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque are:

Saturday to Thursday :

Open from 9am – 10pm (last admission 9.30pm)
Tours commence on the hour 10am to 8pm

A Visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi

Julie Last updated: August 7, 2023 United Arab Emirates 13 Comments

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi…most beautiful building in the world?

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is literally blindingly, brilliantly beautiful. We know from experience!! Both Tim and I had lost our sunglasses just two weeks before our visit to the UAE and never had time to replace them. Tip #1! Bring your sunglasses on your visit to the mosque. The walls and the ground are so white and reflective that on a sunny day it is almost impossible to keep your eyes open.

Interesting Facts about the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

The mosque was completed in 2007 and is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates.

The carpet in the main hall is the largest carpet in the world.

The largest chandelier in the mosque is the third largest chandelier in the world. There are seven chandeliers in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, all imported from Germany and all containing Swarovski crystals.

There are 96 columns in the main prayer hall, inlaid with mother of pearl and marble.

Rihanna was asked to leave in 2013 after being disrespectful while in the mosque.

How to Dress Appropriately

Wear conservative, loose fitting clothing. Men are not allowed to wear shorts. Women need to wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants or a long, loose fitting skirt.

Shoes will be removed before entering the mosque.

Women will be asked to wear a traditional robe (abaya) and a headscarf (shayla) before entering the mosque. If you do not bring your own, these are provided for you.

Don’t forget your sunglasses. Seriously.

The mosque has over 1000 columns and around 80 domes which is splendid.

Julie there is no doubt everyone should pay a visit to Sheikh Zayd mosque when staying in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. I hope you did you enjoy you trip a lot.

Do they still rent abayas? Im planning to visit on the 14th of May 2021. But I’m not sure if they still provide abayas due to the pandemic.

We were here in 2014 so I don’t know if they are currently renting abayas. However, I wore long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and a scarf and this was acceptable. Cheers, Julie

Hey Gayle, we are headed to Abu Dhabi in a few weeks and I have this same question. We’re you able to rent abayas?

What a beautiful architecture. The place looks so cool. Awesome pics.

A great quick read but worth so much! Glad to see this informational post this morning. Thanks, buddy for sharing this information. Which will really help others. Since I’m a travel lover and have a hardcore passion to explore new places. If not physically but I try my best to explore them by reading these amazing blogs

The Travel Sisters

Tips for visiting the sheikh zayed grand mosque in abu dhabi.

by The Travel Sisters | Dec 14, 2022 | Destinations , Trip Reports | 4 comments

1. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is free to visit.

Admission to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is free. Guided tours are also free.

2. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque visiting hours.

Normal visiting hours are 9 am to 10 pm (last admission 09:30 pm) on Saturday – Thursday. On Fridays, the mosque is open from 9:00am to 12:00pm (last admission 1:30 am) and reopens from 3:00 pm. to 10:00 pm (last admission 09:30 pm).

Visiting hours are different during the month of Ramadan so make sure to check the official website if visiting at that time.

3. Take a free guided tour.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque offers free cultural tours tours at designated times. Tours are led by official SZGMC Guides who take visitors around the mosque explaining various elements of the architecture and Islamic culture and answer any questions.

Tours run for approximately 30 and 45 minutes. You don’t have to register for the tour in advance just show up at the starting point of the tour. Here is the link to the mosque’s official website for the current tour schedule. There is also a sign posted at the mosque that lists the time of the next tour.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque guided tour timings

I recommend taking the tour if your timing allows. In addition to learning interesting facts about the mosque, the tour allows you to visit parts of the mosque not open to the general public.

On my tour we were allowed to walk on the carpet inside the Main Prayer Hall while other visitors were not allowed inside.

4. There is a strict dress code.

Visitors are expected to adhere to the dress code which is posted at the mosque and on the mosque’s official website and is strictly enforced.

Women must wear long loose fitting trousers, dresses or skirts as well as long sleeves and a headscarf. Men must wear pants and cannot wear shorts or sleeveless shirts.

Before COVID-19, the mosque used to lend women abayas (traditional attire for women that looks like a long robe), but that is no longer the case. There is a store you will pass by on the way to the mosque where you can purchase an abaya if you are not properly covered up.

walking around in an abaya at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi during the golden hour before sunset

Visitors do not have to remove shoes to walk around on the outside grounds of the mosque. Shoes are not allowed inside the mosque (which is not open to the public unless you are on a guided tour).

5. Bring sunglasses.

Unless you are visiting the Grand Mosque after sunset, make sure to bring sunglasses. Abu Dhabi is very sunny in general but at the mosque the sun reflects off the white marble making it especially bright.

6. Allow sufficient time for the long walk through the visitor center to the mosque.

If you previously visited the mosque several years ago, you will see a big difference when you return. There is now a new visitor center that you will have walk through to reach the mosque from the entrance.

To get to the mosque, you will enter through a glass dome, take an escalator down and then walk through a long underground passageway to another glass dome where you go up the escalator and exit near the mosque grounds. Towards the end of the passageway, you will need to print a ticket from one of the kiosks and show it to security and go through the metal detectors. The underground visitor center also has several restaurants and a souvenir shop.

The underground passageway requires a long walk (so wear comfortable shoes). You can expect that it will take you at least 10-15 minutes to walk through and reach the mosque from the entrance depending how fast you walk and how crowded it is. Keep this in mind and allow sufficient walking time if you are trying to reach the mosque in time for a tour or the sunset. If you have difficulty walking, there are several airport style people movers to help you along and also carts available as well.

7. Food and drink is not allowed on mosque grounds.

Visitors are not allowed to bring food or beverages (even water) to the mosque to ensure the mosque (particularly the delicate marble and carpet) is not damaged.

There are water fountains on the mosque grounds so you don’t have to worry about getting dehydrated during your visit.

If you need to eat before or after your visit, several restaurants (including large chains such as Starbucks and McDonalds, etc.) are located in the underground passage way that connects the mosque to the entrance.

8. Follow the rules and be respectful.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is not just a tourist attraction – it is an active place of worship so be respectful and follow the rules. In addition to abiding by the dress code, don’t yell, make gestures, sit or lie on the ground or take disrespectful photos. Rihanna was asked to leave the mosque in 2013 for taking inappropriate photos.

You will see plenty of security guards that walk around the grounds enforcing the rules, giving warnings and preventing visitors from visiting restricted areas.

Below is a photo of the sign with the mosque rules.

9. What is the best time to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque?

I would recommend visiting either first thing in the morning right after the mosque opens OR before sunset. Avoid the middle of the day since it can get very hot and the lighting will probably not be as great for photos.

When researching my trip, I read that the golden hour before sunset was one of the best times to visit the mosque for photography because you can take photos of the mosque when the light is soft and you can stick around to take photos during the sunset and in the evening. I also read that the morning right after the mosque opens at 9 am was a good time to visit because it is less crowded and the temperature was not as hot.

I was not sure which time to go so I ended visiting twice – the first time before sunset and the second time in the morning. I thought both times were good for different reasons.

Visiting the Mosque Around Sunset. While the lighting was good before sunset and the mosque was beautiful around sunset, it was very very crowded with tourists. (Parts of the mosque are roped off to visitors including the courtyard in front of the mosque, so you can take photos from behind the rope with no other people in your photos.)

I did not get a chance to take many photos during the golden hour before sunset because I chose to join a tour and was inside the mosque for part of that time. Below are a couple of photos of the mosque taken around sunset.

Visiting the Mosque In the Morning. We also briefly stopped by the mosque again right after it opened at 9am the next morning and the mosque was significantly less crowded. The mosque was beautiful in the morning because the marble looked really white against the very blue sky. Although it was sunny, the temperature did not feel as hot as it did around sunset. Below are a couple of photos of the mosque in the morning:

As you can see the mosque looks different depending what time of the day you visit. Since it is free to visit, if you have time you can visit both in the morning and around sunset if you have the time.

10. Getting to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

From Abu Dhabi: The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi about halfway between the Abu Dhabi Airport and the Corniche. If you are staying in Abu Dhabi you can take a bus, taxi, Uber or Careem . Please note that Uber and Careem are more expensive than taxis. If you take a taxi to the mosque you don’t have to worry about finding another taxi when leaving the mosque, there are plenty of taxis waiting in the parking lot.

From Dubai: You can also visit the mosque if you are staying in Dubai and many tourists do. The cheapest way to visit from Dubai is to take the bus and transfer to a local bus – but it will take at least twice as long as driving.

The mosque is approximately a 60-90 minute drive from Dubai and you can either rent a car , take a taxi (approximate cost is $55-75 USD one way according to rome2rio ) or rideshare or book a private transfer .

For 1 or 2 people a guided day tour might be a better value than a taxi plus you can visit a few other attractions in Abu Dhabi. Below are a few day tours from Dubai that visit the mosque:

Hopefully these tips have prepared you to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi and you know what to expect.

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is gorgeous! I can’t wait to visit this place in the future. I’m thrilled to hear that this mosque has free admission and free guided tours too. You mentioned that food and drinks are not allowed on the mosque. Can you bring an unopened bottle of water? Or is there a spot to leave it near the entrance?

I have not yet been to the UAE, but am planning a trip to Abu Dhabi for February. This mosque is on my list for sure.

I don’t have Abu Dhabi on my radar just yet in terms of travel, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t. That’s an incredible mosque!

I love visiting mosques. They are so beautiful and ornate. That’s cool that you don’t have to have a tour reserved and that you can just show up to take one. Also really cool that they take you to parts that aren’t open to the public. Definitely a reason to take a tour right there. That Main Prayer Hall is just wow!! It’s also really cool that they will lend you appropriate clothing to wear if you aren’t dressed appropriately. I don’t think the mosques I’ve been in had that option. I definitely agree with the sunglasses. I had mine on but I can only imagine if I hadn’t. I would definitely want to visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque when I get to visit Abu Dhabi!

The carpet, made by a third-generation carpet master from Iran, was delivered in nine pieces in two jumbo jets.

One thousand two hundred artisans worked on the hand-knotted carpet, which, when unrolled, covers 5,700 sqm.

Wall of Allah

The Qibla wall facing Mecca is engraved with 99 names that Muslims attribute to God in Arabic calligraphy.

The engravings are highlighted by subtle fiber-optic lighting.

The semi-circular niche is adorned with 24-carat gold and complements the beauty of the Grand Mosque.

Reflective Pools

Around the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, many pools are lined with reflecting tiles.

These pools get lit at night with a magical floodlight, which further enhances the beauty of the Mosque.

Thousands of visitors photograph the pools yearly to win the Spaces of Light photo competition.

The calm waters of these pools match perfectly with the peaceful environment of the Mosque itself.

Sheikh Zayed Mosque Opening Hours

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open to visitors, worshippers and non worshippers , every day of the week. With the only exception that on Friday mornings the visit is restricted to Muslims only, as this is the holy day in the religion of Islam. The opening hours are as follows:

Every day except Friday: from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Friday: from 16:30 to 22:00 hours.
During the month of Ramadan it is only open from Saturday to Thursday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

The opening hours make it very easy to visit, but if you go to Dubai in July or if you go to Dubai in August and visit Abu Dhabi, I strongly recommend that you go either early in the morning or when the sun starts to set.

How to get to Sheikh Zayed Mosque on your own

If your accommodation is in Dubai and you have a rental car it is very easy to reach the mosque. There are only 130 km separating Dubai from Abu Dhabi and the two cities are connected by a wide highway of up to 7 lanes and you can travel in just 1 hour and 15 minutes . In any case, visiting this mosque is in itself one of the reasons why going to Abu Dhabi is one of the best excursions you can do from Dubai .

You can also choose to take a bus. The trip takes almost 2 hours and you get to the central bus station in Abu Dhabi with a cost of 25 dirhams, 6.50 euros approximately. Personally and if you go to Abu Dhabi from Dubai , I would choose the option of going by car or even cab if you travel several to share expenses. On arrival, finding parking will not be difficult, as the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has a very large and free parking lot.

If you are already in the city of Abu Dhabi the best options to get there are:

By cab or car : From the city center a cab can cost between 8 and 10 euros depending on traffic.
Bus : Routes 44, 54 and 163 are the ones that have a stop closer and the trip would cost 3 dirhams, just under one euro. Keep in mind that between traffic and the abundant traffic lights it can take around 1 hour to get from the center of Abu Dhabi.

If you are going to use Google Maps to get to Sheikh Zayed keep in mind that in Abu Dhabi there are three mosques with that name . You will need to search for "Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque"

Since you are traveling from Dubai to Abu Dhabi you will want to make the most of your visit. To do this I share with you the best tours to Abu Dhabi from Dubai .

Book a tour to Abu Dhabi from Dubai

Are there guided tours of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and are they worth it?

There is the option of official guided tours and they are also free of charge. These guided tours are exclusively in English (at least to date). If for you that is not an impediment is an option to consider. There are many details and architectural curiosities of the building and with a guide you will not miss any of them. The guided tours can be done in this schedule:

Sunday to Thursday: at 10:00, 11:00 and 17:00.
Fridays: 17:00 and 19:00 hours.
Saturdays: at 10:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00 and 19:00 hours.

The guided tour lasts about an hour and is very enjoyable. If you choose to do it, come at least 30 minutes before the tour starts . If you want a tip, the best time to do this tour is at 17:00 hours, as you will enter with the mosque illuminated by the sun and at the exit you can see the sunset and if you stay a little the spectacular night illumination of the place.

It is definitely worth it if English is not a problem for you. If not you can always look for an external guide who speaks Spanish.

Recommendations for the visit

Like the vast majority of mosques, this one also has a dress code:

Men : They must wear long pants and t-shirts that are not strapless.
Women : They must be fully covered from the waist down (long skirts are allowed, but not tights) and unlike men must wear both arms and hair covered.

I recommend that you arrive prepared and properly dressed to save time . If you are not dressed according to the rules, in the parking lot itself they have an office where they lend you appropriate clothing and where you can change. However, you will be required to leave your ID card or driving license as a deposit. Passports are not accepted in this case.

Who can access the Sheikh Zayed Mosque?

There are no restrictions on access to the temple that affect gender or beliefs. However, you must be aware of the rules of the site and respect them throughout the visit . Both access and exit are different for men and women and you will have to go through a security and dress control.

Rules of conduct at the Sheikh Zayed Mosque

Once inside you will be able to move freely around the premises, but following the rules of conduct they impose:

No displays of affection within the enclosure (kissing, hugging or even holding hands are not allowed).
Women are not allowed to remove their headscarves at any time, not even to take a photo.
Photographs and video are allowed, but not to Muslim women if they do not give you explicit permission.

They are very strict in this regard and there are several security guards to ensure that these rules are followed.

Is it advisable to go to Sheikh Zayed Mosque with children?

Yes. There is no reason why children should not enjoy the visit. The immensity of the mosque and its striking decorations are sure to capture the attention of the little ones.

However, if you go in summer or on very hot days, be sure to hydrate them well. But do it before entering, as you can not enter with water to avoid damaging the architectural elements. A valid advice for children and also adults of course.

What not to miss at Sheikh Zayed

The 22,000 square meters of the grand mosque can accommodate up to 7,000 worshippers in its prayer hall and up to 40,000 people in total, to give you an idea of the size of the monument. The whole complex can be enjoyed from the outside and from the inside. Both perspectives are worthwhile and catch the attention of any visitor.

From the outside : Built in white marble and gold details looks spectacular under the intense sunlight of Abu Dhabi. Its numerous domes , a total of 82, of different sizes, stand out . The largest, which you will easily see in the center of the building, is 85 meters high and just over 30 meters wide. All of them are flanked by 4 minarets of 107 meters high. There is a road that surrounds the monument and I advise you to drive around to admire the mosque in all its splendor from different angles.
From inside : When you enter the interior the first thing you will find is a pool of clear water that reflects the striking columns around it and offer a nice picture. There are a total of 1096 columns between which there is a corridor that gives access to the inner courtyard and provides a nice shade that you will surely appreciate.
The inner courtyard is one of the most famous sights of the mosque . At its corners rise the 107 meters of minarets and under them a beautiful marble floor and semiprecious stones. We crossed the courtyard and before accessing the interior we must take off our shoes. Inside is the main hall which, in my opinion, is the most spectacular of the visit . Not only the views are amazing, but also the figures. The room is covered with white marble imported from Italy. On the ceiling rest 10 lamps decorated with Swarovski crystals and under our feet a carpet that holds the world record for being the largest in the world with 5627 square meters.

For all these reasons the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is considered one of the most important and beautiful mosques in the world . A visit is a must if you choose the United Arab Emirates as your vacation destination.

How much time do you need to visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque?

If you opt for the guided tour option it will take you 1 hour . Since access is free and you can move freely around the site, I recommend that you dedicate, in addition to the guided tour, some extra time to admire the mosque on your own.

Parking is easy, but passing the security and clothing controls will take you a few minutes. So the guided option will take between 1.5 and 2 hours depending on how long you go on your own. If you go on your own you will need a minimum of an hour and a half to see the whole thing properly.

Tips for visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque

Remember the Dubai dress code because it also applies to this mosque: Men should wear long pants and non-strapless shirts. Women should be fully covered including a headscarf.
Come with the appropriate clothing to save time when entering the mosque.
If you are not wearing appropriate clothing, remember to bring your ID card or driver's license to leave as a deposit so that they can lend you clothes according to the rules.
Respect the rules of conduct at all times, as there are several employees watching over it. Do not shout or show affection (kissing, hugging, shaking hands, etc.) inside the mosque.
You can photograph the place, but make sure that your photos do not show local women without their permission.
Hydrate yourself well before entering, as liquids cannot be brought inside.
Remember that Friday is the day of rest in Arab culture so it is only open in the afternoon. I recommend if you can choose to go on Wednesdays or Thursdays, as these are the days with the least amount of visitors.
Avoid as much as possible the hottest hours .
In the surroundings of the mosque there are hardly any cafes and restaurants , however, there is a cafeteria inside the mosque as well as toilets and souvenir store.

My advice: do not think about whether it is better Abu Dhabi or Dubai , if you have time and you are going to spend in Dubai 4 days or more travel to the neighboring city to visit this architectural wonder.

The majestic building is located in the heart of the city and is a hub of activity day and night. Just looking up in awe at the sheer scale of this magnificent structure is memorable in itself, but it's definitely worth venturing inside too. You can capture perfect views of the city from the observation deck at levels 124 and 125, or have a bite to eat in the At The Top Sky Lounge . For special occasions, treat yourself to a sunset session at The Lounge, Burj Khalifa , the highest lounge in the world at 585m.

Stop by in the evening when displays begin at sundown and take place every 30 minutes, until the final song plays at 11pm. Diners can also sit back and enjoy the show at an array of restaurants at Dubai Mall or Souk Al Bahar , both commanding prime positions near the fountain arena.
