There is no doubt that Sheikh Zayed mosque is a masterpiece of a modern architecture, with white marble, beautiful mosaics, picturesque domes, beautiful lamps, carpets, etc. and it is definitely the highlight of UAE. So in total would say it is not to miss place and for sure is a number one attraction here. However prior to your visit bear in mind, that the staff was pretty strict, I was wearing long dress, covering almost everything, but I still had to buy abaya ( of a very bad quality but high price) , as you cannot borrow or even rent one anymore. However I seen people dressed less modestly compared to me but they did not have to buy abaya ( I guess they still differentiate between Muslims and non Muslims and way stricter with non Muslims, which I do not understand why, but that is how it is… Another thing , it is a very busy place, here you feel like you are in the airport with check point, security, crowds of people…. There are plenty of overpriced shops, restaurants in the whole complex, so do not know why they made a religious place like that, but OK. All in all it is still hard to miss this place and it is worth a visit.

Amazing place to visit. This religious site is impressive full of beauty everywhere you see. The government offers free tours inside the mosque and it is a must to take it. Our guide Raneen was very kind and answers all of our questions! Look for her in the tours.

Was not gonna go at all but we were recommended and we are so glad we took their advice as we loved it. It is truly beautiful and mesmerising. Photos really don’t do it justice you really have to be there to experience the culture and history. I really recommend that you wait for a guided tour that takes place every hour which will make it all more understandable.

Go late afternoon,as you can see the striking pure whiteness change as the sunsets and the building is then lit up magnificently. It is beautiful. Catch a tour ( every hour ) The lady was very informative and we got taken into the Mosque from the other side,away from the main queue of people. The whole place is stunning. Make sure your dressed respectfully (arms and legs covered and head scarfs for the ladies) The only minus is it's a shame you have to walk though a mini shopping mall to get to the entrance. But still, somewhere should experience on a trip to this city.

The mosque is absolutely beautiful. It is impressive anywhere you look from the inmense italian marble floor to the outstanding craftsmanship of the chandeliers. One thing that could be improved is the access. You have to go to one side of the shopping mall to get the access pass and then walk to the other side to get into the mosque.

Very easy to visit by city bus or taxi.see timings before visit.though free u have to register ur trip either online or at premises .after getting ur visitor qr code u can visit .clothes or dress are must according to their norms. See website for details. Photos are allowed. Approximately 3 hr is enough.

We previously visited in 2018, so a lot has changed since then. It is absolutely stunning very calming atmosphere and even if you have a short layover in Abu Dhabi, do you take the time to come here you will not regret it Amazing staff, very helpful. Enjoy your visit.

Very beautiful craftsmanship. So elegant looking. An architectural marvel . Not that hard doing the visit but having a tour guide is already a big help. Important to have appropriate attire since you are visiting a mosque. If you have time get the free assisted tour by their specialists. And on the way out are several souvenir shops and fast food joints since at the basement it is connected to a mini mall .

This is our second visit in the mosque, the first one being during the day. This time, we came to visit at 8:30PM and the experience was equally amazing. The mosque is beautifully lit after dark and the heat is much less intense (although the humidity is dreadful).

I booked my reservation for 9:00 am, arrived early at 8:30 a.m. Guards informed me that I could wait inside where they have some shops and restaurants. While waiting for the actual entrance to open, I talked to the friendly guards. There are 2 lines, one for the Group Tours, the other for individual visitors. They had issue reading the Qr code of my printed copy but the guard fixed it. There are several moving ramps to walk to, walls have pictures to look at. There are various areas for photo shoots. We took turns here to take our photos. With big crowds coming later the day, I wondered how this taking photos would happen. There are plentiful of things to see and admire: beautiful chandelies, colums made of various precious stones, mouldings and carvings on the ceilings, etc. Soon the tour was finished. Guided tour with a Guide It starts at 10:00 a.m, Was told that it has to be prebooked online. Opted to skip it. Cheap way to visit this Mosque: I took Bus 94 back to the downtown area. Cost is 2 AED or about 75 cents. Taxi ride cost me 37 AED earlier or about $12.00. Bus waiting area near this Mosque is air-conditioned.
