Mangrove forest
Our first stop is a 2 kilometer long walk through vast areas of mangrove forest. The mangrove forest is a special ecosystem reserve located at the mouth of the Al Dhafra River. You will be surrounded by dense thickets of mangrove trees, forming a unique ecological environment that is home to many rare and protected species of plants and animals.
To fully enjoy this amazing place, take a boat trip through the reserve. Floating on a kayak, you will be able to enjoy the silence and tranquility of nature, feel its power and state of harmony.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque
It is one of the largest and most impressive mosques in the world, a striking symbol of Abu Dhabi’s religious and cultural heritage. The mosque was built in memory of the founder of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahayan.
Every element of the mosque conveys the harmony and tradition of Islamic culture. The main hall of the mosque can accommodate more than 40 thousand worshippers and amazes with its marvelous marble mosaics, giving the place a special charm and nobility. Inside this sacred place is a real miracle – a carpet of 5627 square meters, woven by 1300 Iranian craftsmen. Seven exquisite chandeliers decorated with gold and Swarovski crystals also attract attention.
Important to know:
Sheikh Zayd Mosque is first and foremost a sacred place for all Muslims, so it is mandatory to follow the dress code when visiting:
Men are advised to be in pants and a shirt or T-shirt, without images of animals and 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.
