The first stop is the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which is the largest mosque in the United Aarab Emirates and the eighth largest mosque in the world. It is named after the Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder and first President of the United Arab Emirates. The mosque is large enough to accommodate 40,000 worshippers and the main prayer hall can welcome up to 9,000 worshippers. Two rooms next to the main prayer hall, with a 1,500-capacity each, are for the exclusive use of women. You will marvel at the mosque beauty combining white marble stone, gold, crystals and ceramics.
