The world's most luxurious mosque: the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is known as the world's most luxurious mosque. I have visited many mosques in various countries and found that the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is unparalleled in luxury. There is no second mosque that can compete with it. The full name of the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Nahyan Mosque, where Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Nahyan is the name of the first president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), so it is also known as Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Because the name is too long, locals and tourists simply call it the Grand Mosque. The reason why it is the most luxurious is that the UAE, which is rich and willful, has spent 5.5 billion US dollars to build this mosque for 13 years, and 46 tons of gold alone! When I traveled to the UAE, I spent a whole day visiting the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi and was amazed at its luxury and unique artistic style. The mosque covers an area of 22,000 square meters, with 82 round domes designed, the main dome is 85 meters high, and there are as many as 1,100 gold-decorated pillars. The mosque can accommodate up to 40,000 Muslim believers to pray at the same time. The colors on the floor are not painted with pigments, but are made of natural materials such as bluestone, agate, amethyst, and abalone shell. The entire mosque complex is wrapped in Carrara marble from Greece, which is very solemn and solemn. Those exquisite carvings are the craftsmanship of Chinese craftsmen. The Persian carpet in the main hall is known as the world's largest hand-woven carpet, with a width of 5,627 square meters, a weight of 47 tons, a cost of 5.8 million US dollars, and it is woven by 1,200 Iranian workers using 38 tons of wool for a year and a half. What is even more amazing is that there is no seam on the nearly 6,000 square meters of carpet. In the main hall, the color of the chandelier changes from elegant blue to dazzling gold. There are seven of the world's largest gold-plated brass crystal chandeliers hanging in the hall. They are custom-made in Germany and are worth tens of millions of dollars. They are the best in the world's mosque chandeliers. The seven gold-plated chandeliers are all inlaid with precious crystals, numbering thousands. The largest one hangs on the main dome of the main hall, which is the world's largest branch crystal chandelier. The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a landmark building in the UAE. It was completed in 2007 and is the largest mosque in the UAE and the eighth largest mosque in the world. The temple is open to non-Muslim tourists and admission is free. The temple also provides non-Muslim tourists with free clothing that meets the requirements for entering the mosque, such as women's black robes.
