El Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, considerado el padre de los Emiratos Arabes Unidos (EAU), convirtió un sueño en realidad al construir una mezquita de una belleza incomparable, a pesar de que no pudo verla finalizada. Se empezó a construir en 1998 y se acabó en 2007, tres años después de su muerte.
Como es habitual, bajo la cúpula mayor se encuentra la sala de oración. Para acceder a ella debe cruzarse el gran patio de 17.000 metros cuadrados, cubierto con losas de mármol adornadas con incrustaciones de flores de colores y rodeado de galerías con arcos en forma de herradura.
Lo más llamativo en la sala de oración, a primera vista, son las 7 lámparas de cristal, la más grande de ellas tiene 10 metros de diámetro y un peso de 8 toneladas. Están fabricadas con cristal de Swarovski, montados sobre una estructura de plata y cobre y bañados en oro.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was initiated by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure which unites the cultural diversity of Islamic world, with the historical and modern values of architecture and art.
The mosque is large enough to accommodate over 40,000 worshipers. The main prayer hall can accommodate over 7,000 worshipers. There are two smaller prayer halls, with a 1,500-capacity each, one of which is the female prayer hall.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque has seven imported chandeliers from the company Faustig in Munich Germany that incorporate millions of Swarovski crystals mounted on a metal structure of gold plated silver and copper.
The 8 tones weight largest chandelier is the second largest known chandelier inside a mosque, the third largest in the world and has a 10 m (33 ft) diameter and a 15 m (49 ft) height.

The Maghrib prayer, prayed just after sunset, is the fourth of five obligatory daily prayers performed by practicing Muslims.
In June 2017, the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque has been renamed ‘Mariam, Umm Eisa’ — Arabic for ‘Mary, the mother of Jesus’. The change was ordered by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan to “consolidate bonds of humanity between followers of different religions”.
Zayed Mosque really speaks for itself. If you take the time to go inside you'll discover a work of art beyond belief. It's really a tribute to modern society, and will likely be considered one of the wonders of the world in the future. There's no reason it shouldn't be included among the great works of civilizations. Alternatively you could look at this as such a bastardization of wealth and brazen display of what money can do, and contemplate the amount of starving people that could have been fed with the same amount of energy contributed to a problem of humanity rather than the gods. Then again, when something as grand is built as a tribute to Allah, it's hard to find fault. Celebrating creation and being is a universal language to be appreciated and accepted by all cultures.
After the mysterious Easter Island, I take you to visit one of the masterpieces of architecture, the Grand Mosque Sheikh Zayed in Abu Dhabi. We will live the magic moment of sunset, when the mosque transforms into a palace of Arabian Nights.
At the moment it's time for "canned food" - due to the lack of new travel options, I once again searched my hard drive for unedited pictures from past trips. I came across this picture of the Sheikh Zayed Bridge in Abu Dhabi. Apparently there is a multi-colored lighting concept for this bridge - but on that evening it was simply illuminated in white - probably the reason why I have so far ignored the picture...
