If you find yourself in the United Arab Emirates then a visit to Abu Dhabi\u2019s Grand Mosque – Sheikh Zayed is a must because it’s certainly the Grandest Mosque I\u2019ve ever seen and to be honest it\u2019s worth planning a trip to the UAE just to see it! I visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque whilst I was in Dubai<\/a> so here are 9 tips and pieces of information to help you plan your visit and know what to expect when you arrive.<\/p>\n

1. GETTING TO SHEIKH ZAYED GRAND MOSQUE<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re staying in Abu Dhabi<\/a> you\u2019ll find it very easy to get to the Sheik Zayed Mosque by taxi, however, if you\u2019re staying in Dubai which is 150km away then do not let this put you off going!<\/p>\n

When I was researching how to get to the Mosque from Dubai there appeared to be a bus that goes from Dubai bus station to Abu Dhabi bus station, however I couldn\u2019t find much information on it and it would have involved getting 4 taxi\u2019s either side of the bus so in the end my friend and I decided to get a taxi for the whole journey.<\/p>\n

It took about 90 minutes each way and cost 250-275 AED (see current exchange rate<\/a>) each way. Our taxi driver from Dubai had no issues with taking us there and there were taxis waiting outside of the Mosque when we finished who had no issues with taking us back to Dubai either and I can imagine they\u2019re very used to it.<\/p>\n
