Kuwait decided to have an extended Eid holiday, giving the complete week off. So, me and the family ventured out to the UAE for a short holiday. Of the many other things to see and do, we decided to take a tour of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
The mosque as the name suggests is grand, beautifully merging different styles of Islamic architecture. Also, with the mosque being the biggest of the UAE and one of the bigger ones of the world, makes it a must visit on a tour of the emirate.
The mosque stunningly blends all of the beauty of the Islamic world, from the carpets, chandeliers, woodwork to the domes and minarets in one single place and showcases it to the visitors of all faiths.
With little time on hand, have only managed to capture a few shots, which simply do not equate with the real visuals the mosque offers.
