Located in Abu Dhabi (approx. 1h 20m. from Dubai by car), the beautiful Grand Mosque is one of the grandest Mosques in the world: it extends for 22,412 sqm.; it was initiated by HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nayan, the father of the UAE.
The Design started as 'Moroccan' and evolved including features from all the world, in the construction have be used high quality materials and professionals/artisans from UAE, Italy, Morocco, Malaysia, India, China, Turkey, UK, New Zealand, Iran, Germany, Greece.
