Description

We’ll begin by meeting at the meeting point, where I’ll greet you and give you a quick overview of the tour. Then, we’ll head to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the most impressive landmarks in the world. As we walk, I’ll share some interesting stories about the mosque’s design and history. When you arrive, you’ll be amazed by the mosque’s size—it took over a decade to build and covers 30 acres. It can hold up to 40,000 worshippers! Inside, you’ll see huge Swarovski crystal chandeliers, beautiful floral mosaics, and stunning artifacts made of gold, silver, and marble. Don’t miss the giant carpet in the main prayer hall, which covers 60,570 square feet and weighs 35 tons. I’ll be happy to help you take amazing photos of the mosque’s incredible architecture. You’ll also learn about the vision of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE’s late president, who created this stunning place. As we finish up, you can relax by the peaceful reflective pools. Feel free to ask me any questions or take more photos before we wrap up.
