After lunch at local restaurant. You will be taken to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. More than simply impressed by the Grand Mosque's dignity and luxury, what we applaud for it is Sheikh Zayed's vision in supporting cultural diversity. He required the building with incorporated architectural styles from different Muslim civilizations and celebrated cultural diversity by creating a heaven that is truly diverse and inspirational in its foundation. This attitude makes The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque standing out as one of the world's largest mosques, and the only one that captures unique interactions between Islam and world cultures.
