Identical to a vibrant city because of the capital city, Abu Dhabi doesn’t only show the majestic skyline and sophisticated technology. As part of the Arab world, the city also offers religious and cultural aspects that make it unique and must be visited.
To make it clear, these are 5 Ideas according to 360 Adventure LLC, a Dubai and Abu Dhabi trusted tour operator, from visiting the grand mosque, which includes the religious side, to enjoy the art museum that is part of the modern side:
1. Visiting Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
You haven’t been to the United Arab Emirates yet if you haven’t visited Sheikh Zayed Mosque. As the largest mosque and landmark of the country's capital, visiting the Grand Mosque has become one of the top five ideas.
The mosque was initiated by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first president of the United Arab Emirates, as its name. Constructed in 1994 for 13 years, the building was inaugurated in 2007. With a capacity of around 40,000 worshippers, it has become one of the largest mosques in the world.
The mosque shows its beauty through its architecture. The building style is inspired by several mosques around the world and some references from Persian, Mughal, and Indo-Islamic architecture. It also has 82 domes of various sizes with beautiful white marble cladding.
When you come there, don’t forget to pay attention to the inside of the prayer hall. It is because you will be impressed by 24-karat-gold gilded chandeliers with Swarovski crystals and the world’s largest carpet designed by Iranian people.
