The Mosque is stunning. Please dress appropriately. Women should bring a scarf to cover your head, wear something with sleeves, no tight pants otherwise Abayas will be made available for you.

Spiritually a very moving experience for me. Unbelievably beautiful...It brought me to tears. I was thankful I had the opportunity to enter such an amazing place of worship.

Well worth a visit. Not overcrowded - even on a Saturday morning. Parking is close to the mosque. Remember to dress appropriately.

Simply divine, nothing to dislike. Exquisite work on marbles, beautifully crafted chandeliers, spacious courtyard and a golf art pick-up and drop-off service at parking bay.

The reason I went to Abu Dhabi was mainly to see the Grand Mosque there. And I think it worth me paying for a car and a driver for a day and spent almost an hour and 45 minutes single ride from the city of Dubai to Abu Dhabi, The Grand Mosque is truly beautiful no matter viewing it from... More

This places is really breathtaking. As a Muslim I guess I'm biased and Friday prayers were a delight. However, that aside it is a beautiful place, really breathtaking architecture!

This is probably the number one must-see attraction in Abu Dhabi. Make sure you don't miss it!!! I was astounded by the beauty of this place and the luxurious chandelier.
