Abu Dhabi White Mosque

Recommended reason: Abu Dhabi's heavy use of attractions, known as the world's third largest mosque. The largest mosque is in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, also known as the Holy Mosque. The second largest mosque is also in Medina, Saudi Arabia, where the prophet preached. Therefore, it is known as the third largest mosque. Abu Dhabi White Mosque is a 2-hour drive from Dubai. You need to book tickets in advance before visiting, in the form of QR codes. You need to get a parking permit by appointment when you drive in. The mosque is closed every Friday from 12:00 to 15:00. Attraction introduction: The Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque was completed on the Eid al-Adha in 2007. In fact, the full name of this mosque is Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Nahyan Mosque. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Nahyan is the name of the first president of the UAE. This mosque was built to commemorate this late UAE president, and his tomb is in the mosque. So it is also known as Sheikh Zayed Mosque, but perhaps because the name is too long, locals and tourists simply call this mosque the Grand Mosque. There are strict dress codes for entering the mosque. Men's T-shirts, knee-length pants, no shoe requirements. Women wear headscarves, long dresses and pants, and do not expose their wrists and ankles. Liquids, power banks, selfie sticks, animals, totems, religious patterns and shapes are not allowed in the mosque. So check the decorations on your clothes. The mosque has a designated tour route. Enter the main gate along the mark, visit the cloister, the pillars are inlaid with desert flower shapes in marble, and the tops of the pillars are gilded. Pass through the cloister, enter the main prayer hall, inside are huge Swarovski crystal chandeliers and the world's largest Iranian hand-woven carpet. Then visit from the side, and finally take a free taxi back to the commercial area. The commercial area has gift shops, perfumes, catering, etc. Recommended index: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
