Itinerary
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was designed mainly by Syrian architect Yousef Abdelki, supported by additional architects and specialists from Syria. Its construction involved more than 3,000 workers and 38 contracting companies from around the world. Architecturally, the mosque is a blend of Islamic styles, combining Mughal, Moorish, Ottoman, Persian, and other influences to create a beautifully unified design. The mosque complex covers over 555,000 square meters and can accommodate approximately 55,000 worshippers
• Domes & Minarets: • The mosque features 82 domes of different sizes. • The main central dome measures approximately 32.6 meters in diameter and 84 meters in height. • There are four minarets, one at each corner of the courtyard, each rising to a height of about 107 meters.
•Materials & Ornamentation: oExtensive use of white marble for the exterior and many internal features—selected for its purity and symbolism. oInlays of semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl, etc., used in decorative carving, walls, columns. oMosaics and floral designs: The courtyard (Sahan) has floral marble mosaics. The designs include hundreds of panels using colored and white marble pieces
Interior Highlights: * The main prayer hall features one of the world’s largest hand-knotted carpets, a masterpiece of craftsmanship. * The hall is illuminated by several massive crystal chandeliers, designed by renowned manufacturers such as Faustig in Munich, with beautifully gold-gilded details. The central chandelier is exceptionally tall and incredibly heavy. * The mosque’s unique lighting system reflects the phases of the moon — glowing soft white during the full moon and gradually shifting to deeper blue shades as the moon decreases.

About Dubai
Dubai rises from desert and Gulf shore as a city of soaring towers, vast malls and beaches, with older trading quarters strung along its creek.
The Burj Khalifa, built to be the tallest building in the world, soars above Downtown, where the Dubai Fountain dances on a lake at its feet and the Dubai Mall spreads out beside it. Along the coast, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the palm-shaped island of Palm Jumeirah and the towers of Dubai Marina define a skyline raised within living memory.
