TIPS TO VISIT THE SHEIKH ZAYED GRAND MOSQUE 🕌

VisitingSheikh Zayed Grand Mosque located in Abu Dhabi was such a surreal experience. You see these things in textbooks but in real life, it is such a GRAND building. Before stopping by, here are some tips to consider to make sure you can make the most of your visit!

📝 Tip 1: Visiting is free but you must secure an online reservation – a crucial step to ensure a seamless entry. Check online before you visit in order to put this in.

📝 Tip 2: Dressing appropriately is key - modest attire is a must, meaning arms and legs must be fully covered. You don’t have to wear an abaya as long as you’re covered. If you do want to purchase an abaya, there are many shops outside selling some starting from $15 USD. Women MUST cover their hair whether with the abaya or just with a head scarf.

📝 Tip 3: Surprisingly, you don't need to be Muslim to appreciate the mosque. All are welcome.

📝 Tip 4: Unlike many religious sites, you're encouraged to bring your professional cameras to capture the intricate details of this masterpiece.

Bonus: As with any tourist site, go early in the morning if you want to avoid the crowds as it can get busy!
