Abu Dhabi Mosque Open to Non-Muslims

This month a second mosque in the United Arab Emirates opens its doors to non-Muslims. The recently constructed Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi will offer guided tours commencing at 10 am, Saturday to Thursday. Tours last 60 to 90 minutes and visitors are asked to arrive 15 minutes before the tour. The tour is free but visitors need to pre-book by emailing zayedmosquetour@adta.ae. Photography is permitted on the tour.
Until now, the only mosque in the UAE open to non-Muslims was the Jumeirah Mosque in Dubai. The new Sheikh Zayed Mosque has supplanted the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Oman in having the largest chandelier and the largest carpet in the world.
