Take a tour of Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. The strikingly beautiful Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. Over 80 snow-white domes look like they were built using pure clouds. Though the mosque is brand new, it draws on classical architecture of the Arabs, Mughals, and Moors. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is open to visitors before noon, although there are some regulations. This huge and beautiful building can hold about 40,000 in its many halls. The decoration is largely based on natural patterns, made out of precious and elegant materials. Everything here is grand and extraordinary - including some of the world's largest chandeliers. Construction materials and artists were called upon from many countries around the world. This magical mosque is undoubtedly a special landmark, that draws worshippers and visitors from all over.
