The tours will be run by UAE nationals trained by the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), who will give visitors a detailed brief on the mosque and its architecture and the significance and traditions of Ramadan and Eid.
The tours will run in the mornings and afternoons, starting from the second day of Eid.
All visitors to the mosque during this period will also receive a commemorative complimentary pack of heritage postcards produced by ADTA.
The Shaikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the world’s largest — and arguably most beautiful — and has emerged as one of Abu Dhabi’s most popular attractions.
Named after the late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, it is an architectural statement which combines traditional and modern Islamic designs and construction techniques, with craftsmen from around the world involved in its creation.
The main features of the mosque include seven chandeliers that together encompass over a million Swarovski crystals and the world’s largest hand-woven carpet knotted by 1,200 weavers in Mashhad, Iran.
During Eid, with the exception of the first day, visitors can see the mosque without a tour from 9am until 11.30am.
On Fridays, the mosque is open to worshippers only.
Visitors are expected to dress appropriately for a place of worship. —
