Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the sixth largest mosque in the world.It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried there. The mosque was officially opened in the Islamic month of Ramadan in 2007.
The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, 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, particularly the Badshahi Mosque and the Hassan II Mosque. 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 (380 ft) in height. There are 57 domes covering the outside yard and the main building as well. The domes are decorated with white marble and the interior decoration is made of marble. The courtyard is paved with floral marble designs and measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft).

رحل زايد رحل والليل يتساءل بعد هاليوم
صباحج كيف يابلاد شعبها كلهم ايتام

That’s a panting of shaik zayed (may he rest in peace enshallah)
“I don’t know the painter I just toke the shot”
.....
اللهم اغفر له وارحمه ، وعافه ، واعف عنه ، وأكرم نزله ، ووسع مدخله ، واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ، ونقه من الخطايا كما نقيت الثوب الأبيض من الدنس ، وأبدله داراً خيراً من داره ، وأهلا خيراً من أهله ، ، وأدخله الجنة ، وأعذه من عذاب القبر، وعذاب النار ، اللهم اوسع مدخله وأجعل قبره روضه من رياض الجنه

2007 Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque taken from the Wahat Al Karama - Oasis of Dignity.
We visited the mosque earlier that day. You can visit as non Muslim. This is the biggest mosque in the UAE. There is a huge parking and at the parking you have to take an escalator down which takes you into a mall. From the mall you have these moving walkways which takes you to the mosque. From the parking to the mosque is about half a kilometer; all underground! Back above ground you'll have some time to see the mosque's exterior and at the end the interior. It is very pretty. They have rules: knees and shoulders should be covered by clothing and woman have to cover there hair. For small kids it is less strict.
This is shot from the Oasis of Dignity which is on the other side of the highway. There is a war memorial to commemorate those who were killed fighting for the country. Next to it is this round 'lake' which contains a thin layer of water which returns a nice reflection of the mosque.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque's design and construction "unites the world", using artisans and materials from many countries including Italy, Germany, Morocco, Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Iran, China, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Greece and United Arab Emirates. More than 3,000 workers and 38 renowned contracting companies took part in the construction of the mosque. Natural materials were chosen for much of its design and construction due to their long-lasting qualities, including marble stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics. It was built by the Italian company Impregilo.

Abu Dhabi, UAE
Whilst stopping over in Dubai we hired a desert safari driver the following day to take us down to Abu Dhabi and visit some of the highlights. First stop was Sheikh Zayed Mosque which is unlike anything I've ever seen before! Absolutely amazing!
They have free guided tours every day at 10am except Fridays and I highly recommend a visit!
A little info on the Mosque:
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الشيخ زايد) in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest mosque in the world. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried next to the mosque(outer left side). The mosque was opened for worship since Eid Al Adha December 2007.
It also houses the world's largest carpet which is made by Iran's Carpet Company and designed by Iranian artist Ali Khaliqi.
This mosque also held the largest chandelier. There are seven imported chandeliers from Germany made from gold-plated copper and fitted with millions of Swarovski crystals. The largest chandelier has a 10 m (33 ft) diameter and a 15 m (49 ft) height. The chandelier was relegated to second place when the current record holder was unveiled in Doha.
'ZAYED UNIVERSITY'
I always wanted to photograph this university, ever since I saw it from the air, back in October 2011.
It was a long wait before I finally came face to face with all these organic curves which are part roof, part structural facade. Zayed University is glorious and it certainly didn't disappoint! There wasn't a soul in this quiet place so my experience of this marvel was very personal and borderline spiritual.
Cold steel and hot windows, long sweeping lines and organic curves give this building a very feminine, elegant and somewhat feline presence.
I'm happy to share the ultra-futuristic and very unique architecture of the Zayed University with all of you.
I shot several time-lapse sequences here as well so my visit felt complete and perfect!
Tech talk: this is a dynamic blend of 5 exposures from -2EV through +2EV.
I used Canon 5D Mark III and Canon TS-E 17mm f4.0L lens. Promote Remote Control helped with bracketing which exceeded 30 seconds on the longer end.
Colour grade reflects my experience of this architecture. I went for a desaturated look with cold metallic hues, deep blacks and icy whites. It is a heightened reality which feels 'right' in my gut.
