THE GRAND MOSQUE The Grand Mosque is an architectural icon - 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 inspired people from all backgrounds to visit and learn about Islam and absorb the impressive spectacular Islamic architecture. The grand structure was designed and built by skilled teams from all over the world, including 1,300 Iranian artisans who hand-knotted the main prayer hall’s carpet - the world’s largest. The mosque features 82 domes and 24-carat-gold gilded chandeliers. The courtyard’s vast marble mosaic artwork and reflective pools mirror some of the many amethyst-and-jasperembedded columns and the mosque’s four stunning minarets proudly stand at 106 metres.
