Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque- Abu Dhabi

I'll keep the commentary to a minimum. Getting to the Mosque was a nightmare-- NO signage! Once arrived we really enjoyed the visit. Everyone must remove shoes and women must wear the abaya in order to enter the mosque, which we did. A beautiful mosque, biggest in the UAE and the 8th largest in the world, I think I prefer the outside to the inside, but both were lovely. The giant main prayer room is only for men, and as men and women are not permitted to pray together, we also visited a very pretty ladies's prayer room. Below are separate men's and women's washrooms.

    It's the 8th largest in the world... but the largest in the UAE :-)
