Sheikh Zayed Mosque - the biggest mosque in #UAE and the main sightseeing of its capital - #Abu-Dhabi. It's recognised as the most splendid mosque in the world. Marble, gold and decorations were brought here from all around the world. 3 records of Guinness were achieved here - the biggest and the most expensive chandelier (lamp) and the biggest carpet.
🟧The name of the mosque is honoured to founder of the UAE - Sheikh Zayed ibn Sultan an-Nahayan.
🟧When mass building in UAE started after exploring oil it turned out that the capital becomes very typical business city without any soul because there is no sightseeings and nothing special at all. But they have money - they need to spend them😀. Because the country is islamic - building of mosque was the most logical.
🟧The construction started in 1996 and ended in 2007.
🟧 Capacity - 40000 people.
🟧The funniest thing is that it's not allowed to take pictures ewerywhere - there are marked photopoints for that. There is security ewerywhere and their remind you all the time. At least good that they allow you to take off a mask while taking a picture😂. But I was taking pictures and shooting videos wherever I wanted and nobody forced me to delete anything so you CAN ignore them (My impudence worked good for me😁)

Very imposing structure. It´s cool to see that there are still buildings being constructed that transport this kind of majesty in this time and day instead of all the soulless mega towers of glass and steel.
Yes that's really interesting to visit this place and the same time I felt myself a bit boring because all of this is artificial , without any vibe , just to show money and power
I just arrive Abu Dhabi yesterday such a beautiful place. I haven't been to this mosque hopefully will be there soon.
