Description
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque - Abu Dhabi

The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by both Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture. Natural materials were chosen for much of its design and construction due to their long-lasting qualities, including marble stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics.

There are four minarets on the four corners of the courtyard which rise about 107 m (351 ft) in height. The courtyard, with its floral design, measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft),and is considered to be the largest example of marble mosaic in the world.
