Intérieur de la Mosquée.
La Grande Mosquée Sheikh Zayed est ouverte à la visite y compris pour les non musulmans. D'une blancheur immaculée, cette mosquée massive est couronnées de 80 dômes de toutes tailles. Inspirée par le Taj Mahal, cette mosquée tout de marbre a été achevée en 2007. Elle peut accueillir 40 000 fidèles et compte ainsi parmi les plus grandes du monde. Elle fait également partie des plus chères au monde avec un cout de 450 millions d'euros !
The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by both Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by both Mughal and Moorish design. Its archways are quintessentially Moorish and its minarets classically Arab. The design of the Mosque can be best described as a fusion of Arab, Mughal and Moorish architecture.
The Mosque is large enough to accommodate 40,000 worshippers. The main prayer hall can accommodate up to 9,000 worshippers. Two rooms next to the main prayer hall, with a 1,500-capacity each, are for the exclusive use of women.
There are four minarets on the four corners of the mosque which rise about 115 m (377 ft) in height. There are 57 domes covering the outside yard and the main building as well. The domes are decorated with white Bianco marble from Pietrasanta, Italy and the interior decoration is made of white marble from Laas, Italy. The courtyard is paved with floral marble designs and measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft).
