Introduction

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque stands in Abu Dhabi, capital of the UAE, the country's largest and most magnificent mosque, its pure white marble, 82 domes and two rows of 107 m minarets expressing a serene yet grand Islamic architectural language. Inside lie one of the world's largest hand-knotted carpets and gigantic chandeliers of Swarovski crystal and gilding; the courtyard's flower mosaics reflect in pools, beautiful by day and night. Built to honour the nation's founding president, Sheikh Zayed, it serves both worship and cross-cultural dialogue, offering guided visits to all — the first stop to grasp Gulf modern religious aesthetics and its spirit of openness.
