Hello my friends, I hope you are doing well,Today with one of the world's largest architectural antiques
(((Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque)))
When I visited, I felt the greatness and the sweat of the Islamic civilization and the creativity that reached
It is the fourth largest mosque in the world in terms of the total area after the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque in Saudi Arabia and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca with an area of 412.22 square meters without the lakes around it.
The mosque can accommodate 7,000 worshipers, but it is possible with the use of the open spaces to accommodate about 40 thousand worshipers. Imagine this ...
Construction of the mosque began in 1998 and was built at a height of 9 meters from the street level on the orders of Sheikh Sheikh Zayed personally. The first prayer was held on Eid al-Adha in 1428 AH on 10 December 2007. But ended in March 2008. Will Abbott.

In addition to the use of unique plants specially designed for the mosque in its exquisite interior decoration, the mosaics used the mosaic to cover the whole square of the mosque (17,000 square meters), one of the largest mosques in the world.
