The interiors of The Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque are richly decorated with verses of the Holy Quran in three varieties of Arabic calligraphy.

As you move around the premises you can see the reflective pools that surround the Mosque, which in turn amplifies its beauty!

Because of the heavy weather conditions and the flooding of many roads in UAE, the last few days have been very turbulent for everyone. But the whole OceanAir Travel Team has taken great care of us and were able to help us in every situation. The trip today was wonderful and despite the bad conditions on the roads, the driver brought us safely to our destination and our guide Abdelrahman Gamal took excellent care of us! He was incredibly friendly and spoke excellent English and German and explained us everything about the country, the people and the mosque. The mosque in the Sunset was breathtakingly beautiful! We had a great afternoon and can highly recommend this tour and the agency! In the evening, the office crew inquired via WhatsApp whether we had arrived safe and sound at our hotel. It doesn't get any better and nicer than this!! If I could give 10 stars, I'd give 11! Thank you for the great experience

We had a really nice trip to the mosque in Abu Dhabi. We were picked up at our hotel, which was well organised. The guide (Abdelrahman Gadel) was very good and tells a lot about the mosque. He also told us if there were any questions we could ask. We really excited about this trip to the Sjeikh Zayed Grand Mosque and we will recommend this definitely to others. Maybe one thing of improvement: give the people some more free time after visiting the mosque. We now had only 30 minutes before leaving, but when you want to shop or eat/drink something, it’s a little bit to short😇
