I visited last Thursday and attended the free guided tour at 10AM. Myself and husband were the only ones who joined the tour so we ended up receiving a private tour of the mosque from Mahmoud. Mahmoud was very professional and friendly throughout the visit. He drew our attention to so many of the beautiful elements of the mosque, enlightening us with his vast knowledge of the architecture and history of it. He was also able to answer all questions of the many questions we had. I would highly recommend visiting the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and joining one of the free guided tours. Mahmoud was a great tour guide and a real credit to the mosque.

We were lucky enough to join a free 10am tour with Mahmoud where somehow no one else joined so myself and my partner had an entirely private tour of the Mosque. Mahmoud was extremely friendly and knowledgable and he truly made the experience remarkable. Highly recommend the free guided tours and visiting such an outstanding and important piece of the culture in the UAE. Thank you Mahmoud!

Our visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in August 2023 was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Stepping into the mosque felt like entering a world of pure serenity and architectural marvel. The grandeur of its design and the intricate details left us in absolute wonder. The cleanliness and organization of the premises were exemplary, ensuring a peaceful and respectful atmosphere for all visitors. Our visit was a humbling and spiritually enriching experience, and it's a must-visit for anyone traveling to Abu Dhabi. This mosque is a true testament to human creativity and devotion.

Visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque recently. It is undoubtedly one of the architectural marvels of the world. Been to this wonderful place a few times in the last 15 years. Special thanks to Ms Zainab who took us on a free, guided cultural tour. We were provided with some interesting insights to the design of the Grand Mosque and local culture. A must see for any visitors to the UAE.

There is no doubt that Sheikh Zayed mosque is a masterpiece of a modern architecture, with white marble, beautiful mosaics, picturesque domes, beautiful lamps, carpets, etc. and it is definitely the highlight of UAE. So in total would say it is not to miss place and for sure is a number one attraction here. However prior to your visit bear in mind, that the staff was pretty strict, I was wearing long dress, covering almost everything, but I still had to buy abaya ( of a very bad quality but high price) , as you cannot borrow or even rent one anymore. However I seen people dressed less modestly compared to me but they did not have to buy abaya ( I guess they still differentiate between Muslims and non Muslims and way stricter with non Muslims, which I do not understand why, but that is how it is… Another thing , it is a very busy place, here you feel like you are in the airport with check point, security, crowds of people…. There are plenty of overpriced shops, restaurants in the whole complex, so do not know why they made a religious place like that, but OK. All in all it is still hard to miss this place and it is worth a visit.

Amazing place to visit. This religious site is impressive full of beauty everywhere you see. The government offers free tours inside the mosque and it is a must to take it. Our guide Raneen was very kind and answers all of our questions! Look for her in the tours.

Was not gonna go at all but we were recommended and we are so glad we took their advice as we loved it. It is truly beautiful and mesmerising. Photos really don’t do it justice you really have to be there to experience the culture and history. I really recommend that you wait for a guided tour that takes place every hour which will make it all more understandable.

Go late afternoon,as you can see the striking pure whiteness change as the sunsets and the building is then lit up magnificently. It is beautiful. Catch a tour ( every hour ) The lady was very informative and we got taken into the Mosque from the other side,away from the main queue of people. The whole place is stunning. Make sure your dressed respectfully (arms and legs covered and head scarfs for the ladies) The only minus is it's a shame you have to walk though a mini shopping mall to get to the entrance. But still, somewhere should experience on a trip to this city.

The mosque is absolutely beautiful. It is impressive anywhere you look from the inmense italian marble floor to the outstanding craftsmanship of the chandeliers. One thing that could be improved is the access. You have to go to one side of the shopping mall to get the access pass and then walk to the other side to get into the mosque.

Very easy to visit by city bus or taxi.see timings before visit.though free u have to register ur trip either online or at premises .after getting ur visitor qr code u can visit .clothes or dress are must according to their norms. See website for details. Photos are allowed. Approximately 3 hr is enough.
