Itinerary
Depart Dubai and journey to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi by air-conditioned vehicle. Relax in comfort on the 90-minute drive . On arrival, marvel at the 8th largest mosque in the world. Spread over 30 acres, the magnificent structure took more than a decade to build and now stands as a showcase for the United Arab Emirate’s Islamic cultural heritage. Roam around the site that can accommodate up to 40,000 worshippers at any one time. Marvel at priceless features, such as the huge Swarovski crystal chandeliers, floral mosaics, and artifacts of gold, silver, and marble. Be amazed by the gigantic carpet in the main prayer hall. Measuring 60,570 square feet and weighing 35 tons, the carpet was made in Iran and is the result of the toil of thousands of carpet weavers over 2 years. Take stunning memorable photos of the complex and its awe-inspiring architecture. Depart Abu Dhabi and journey back to Dubai for a drop-off at your hotel or designated location.

Traveler reviews
Spectacular mosque, but beware of the tour purchased on this site!
Sheikh Zayed Mosque is an unparalleled architectural masterpiece, a breathtaking visual experience that I recommend to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi. However, I have to give a very negative opinion on the handling of the package purchased through TripAdvisor. Unfortunately, the description of the tour did not reflect the reality of the facts: Missing services: The package explicitly provided water and proper clothing (abaya/tunic) included for entry, but none of this was provided to us. Insufficient time: The time devoted to the visit was totally inadequate. A structure of such beauty requires a calm and respectful visit, while we were forced to run, ruining the atmosphere of the moment. Reliability: I expected TripAdvisor to ensure a higher standard and greater match between what was paid and what was received. Advice: The Mosque absolutely deserves 5 stars, but I suggest you book through other channels or check very carefully the local operator, because the organization of this package was bad.
10 out of 10
Inam was an amazing guide! He was so pleasant and educated us on the mosque! He accommodated us as much as possible, provided an extra wrap for me & I really recommend booking this tour and having Inam as your guide!
Amazing day with mr.khan
We spend a good day in abudhabi with tour guide mr.khan very nice tour with lots of information about culture .it was a nice group of six people funny group
Unfortunately not recommended !
This is definitely not a tour but just a transfer ! You just get driven back and forth. You have to take care of the tickets yourself. Likewise, the driver arrived an hour late to drive us there. We were only allowed to stay in the mosque for 2 hours. Nothing corresponded to the booking details!
Scam
30 minutes before the activity, I received a notification the Pacific Adventures have cancelled my booking I must reschedule. The was no communication whatsoever. I wonder what will happen to my money as according to their cancellation policy, cancellation must be 24 hours prior the activity. Viator and Pacific adventures is a scam website.
