Full description

Depart Dubai and journey to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi by modern air-conditioned vehicle. Relax in comfort on the 90-minute drive with your professional guide. On arrival, marvel at the 8th largest mosque in the world. Spread over 30 acres, the magnificent structure took more than a decade to build and now stands as a showcase for the United Arab Emirate’s Islamic cultural heritage. Roam around the site that can accommodate up to 40,000 worshippers at any one time. Marvel at priceless features, such as the huge Swarovski crystal chandeliers, floral mosaics, and artifacts of gold, silver, and marble.

Be amazed by the gigantic carpet in the main prayer hall. Measuring 60,570 square feet and weighing 35 tons, the carpet was made in Iran and is the result of the toil of thousands of carpet weavers over 2 years. Take stunning memorable photos of the complex and its awe-inspiring architecture, and get a better appreciation of the vision of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the late president of the UAE and the mastermind behind the mosque.

Depart Abu Dhabi and journey back to Dubai for a drop-off at your hotel or designated location.

Great experience it was lovely to visit the mosque, learn about the architecture and take nice photos. The tour wasn’t too long and included a lunch and shopping break which was perfect. Only reason for not giving 5* is because our transport was very late to collect us due to a vehicle breaking down. But apart from there everything was great!

Fabulous tour in a small-ish group of 16 people - the guide David was excellent and engaging The mosque is just so impressive and we had plenty of time to view it all. The entrance is strict and many people got caught out with incorrect dress and turned away but out tour provided abayas if needed . It is a very busy place and you need to be prepared to queue and walk in lines to get round - lots of photo opportunities and David was very informative and super helpful all the way through. We were picked up in the morning and taken to a rendezvous point where we joined the bus and dropped back after our return to Dubai We highly recommend this tour - very reasonably priced and enjoyable
