This is a crystal scale replica of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a landmark that harmonises centuries of Islamic artistic traditions. Its design draws on architectural influences from across the Islamic world.

The mosque features 82 marble-clad domes and over 1,000 columns. Its four minarets combine stylistic elements associated with different Islamic architectural traditions, with square Moroccan bases, octagonal Mamluk sections, and Ottoman cylindrical tops. Named after the UAE’s late founding father, the mosque was built to embody peace and tolerance and can accommodate up to 50,000 worshippers within its halls.
