Once you reached Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque after the 90 minutes travel from Dubai, you will understand architecture's beauty and gain a deeper understanding of religion and culture in the United Arab Emirates.

On your journey through the marbled halls, you'll see one-of-a-kind treasures, including gold-plated Swarovski chandeliers, the courtyard's vast marble mosaic artwork and reflective pools that mirror some of the many amethyst-and-jasper-embedded columns. When you're outside, look up to see the mosque's four stunning minarets that proudly stand at 106 metres.
