You can immerse yourself in an atmosphere of silence and tranquility and experience true spirituality.

Important to know:

Sheikh Zayd Mosque is, first of all, a sacred place for all Muslims, so it is obligatory to follow the dress code rules when visiting:

Men are advised to be in pants and a shirt or T-shirt, with no images of animals or people. Entry in shorts and T-shirts is strictly forbidden.

For women, arms, shoulders and legs must be completely covered, so it is recommended to choose long skirts or loose pants and long-sleeved outerwear to visit the mosque; transparent and tight clothing is prohibited. The head should also be covered. If you do not have appropriate clothing, there is an option to purchase an Abaya and scarf upon entering the mosque.

Visitors may be refused entry for violating the dress code.
