Full description
After a prompt pick-up from your hotel, you will travel to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. True to its name, the main prayer hall of this Mosque accommodates thousands of people at a time. Besides this, the structure features one of the largest domes in the world and its outer surface is ornamented with imported white marbles. Other notable attractions of the Mosque include; the hand-knitted carpet, the Swarovski crystals-studded glass panels, and the massive chandelier (the world’s third largest).
Once your mosque visit is over, you will head to the city’s luxurious hotel, Emirates Palace. Blending Arabic elements with modern technologies, this hotel offers the finest hospitality with an authentic local feel. The super-richness of this structure is well evident in all its deluxe rooms, suits, spas, private beach and pools.
