The Sheikh Zayed White Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. This is the main showcase of the untold riches of the emirate of Abu Dhabi in the eyes of tourists. The mosque bears the name of the beloved sheikh, who came up with the idea to unite all the Bedouins into one country. Sheikh is really loved, honored and respected here. This is evidenced by numerous posters with his image, evenly distributed throughout the emirates. Well, the luxury of the mosque speaks of the amount of wealth that fell to the lot of this once poor, illiterate nomadic people. The mosque has at least two masterpiece objects: the world's largest carpet made of cotton and wool, and a 10-meter diameter chandelier made of more than a million colored Swarovski crystals. The mosque is open to the public and tourist buses run according to a special schedule - if you do not have time in time, please sign up for another one.
In this way, it is possible to regulate the huge flow of tourists. Women at the entrance throw a black cape over their clothes, imitating the local abaya. Before entering, you must take off your shoes, you can take pictures inside everywhere. The mosque looks very impressive at night, in the illumination of lanterns it turns into an illustration for "1000 and 1 Nights". A spectacle that boggles the mind and imagination!
