The beautiful Sheikh Zayed Mosque, named after the founder of the UAE. Tourists can visit only in closed clothes and shoes, women must have their heads covered.
As bright as it is on the outside, it is just as bright on the inside! It was very unusual to attend the service, to look at this ceremony (it is necessary to go inside without shoes, there is a small piece of the hall fenced with a red ribbon for tourists, where you can not speak loudly and sit)
The monumental structure is beautiful both outside and inside. It is possible to do this outside of prayer during the daytime. At the entrance, you need to pause and listen to a brief briefing. Everyone is friendly. I recommend
A beautiful mosque, you can get inside for free, pre-register on the official website and get a qr code (it is scanned at the entrance)

They stormed for two days, they built a barrier in every possible way - it's hard for a woman to get in. They are looking for something to find fault with. It is clear that the covered head and long dresses, but they find fault anyway - not even a piece of the ankle should be visible. It's easier for men - but you also need long pants and sleeves covering the elbows. Registration on the site (I posted the site address on the screenshot with the quarkodes), but we did not check the quark codes, only clothes, their vending machine did not work today either, where the quark code should be for registration. It's worth a visit, but you have to suffer a lot. Still, there is something to compare it with - in Tatarstan they have never found fault with clothes at all, in Turkey and Dagestan they give out their "suits" to women so as not to torment themselves or guests, but here the guys just saved on tourists. Yes, it's free. But like most mosques I've been to. I specially attach a photo of my outfit, the length of which is stuck…
A beautiful mosque, a very large territory, larger than our Palace Square) we did not go inside, we passed by in the evening, just when there was evening prayer. It's impressive.
Beautiful 😍
It is necessary to dress as tightly as possible, with scarves! The shoes are closed, take the socks to go inside. Shoes on the carpet should be removed.
Women are allowed inside!
You can't sit down and show gestures in the photo.
Enter for the tour on the left. There, the guard and the assistants explain the rules of conduct.
They said that it works from 9, but we were told that at 10 o'clock in the morning. Maybe we were lucky. I think you can check the operating mode on the official website.
A very majestic building, the second largest. It can be seen from all sides and from afar, since, according to the decision of the authorities, it is impossible to build a high-rise around so that the mosque would be visible. They didn't go inside.
An incredible place! A must-visit, quiet, peaceful place with a large park.
Everyone is allowed into the mosque from 9 to 14 on weekdays, you can book an excursion on the official website free of charge.
