Simply Abu Dhabi II

64 SIMPLY ABU DHABI OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY AT A MAGICAL MOSQUE Spirituality needs to be fed to thrive and as deeply spiritual beings our visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was an intensely moving and magical experience. Fondly known as the Grand Mosque by the locals, the striking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the most imposing religious and national landmarks in Abu Dhabi and an important architectural treasure of contemporary UAE society. Abu Dhabi is a place that is completely accepting of all nationalities, cultures and faiths, so whatever your beliefs, we can fully recommend a visit to this exquisite Mosque. The largest in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest in the world, this awe-inspiring Mosque is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan affectionately thought of as the father of the UAE. He is buried next to the building and as the founder and first President of the United Arab Emirates, the Mosque is a fitting and lasting tribute. You can’t fail to feel the mystical atmosphere both inside and out.
