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.
There are four minarets on the four corners of the courtyard which rise about 107 m (351 ft) in height. The courtyard, with its floral design, measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft),and is considered to be the largest example of marble mosaic in the world.
The new bridge carries 4 lanes in each direction and is the newest bridge connecting Abu Dhabi, which is an island, to the mainland, and is part of a major link in the Abu Dhabi to Dubai, road system.
