Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque strengthens its standing as global Emirati landmark offering a round-the-lock experience
Abu Dhabi: On World Tourism Day, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre hosted cultural tours to showcase the mosque's global prominence and its role as a cultural bridge. The mosque draws nearly 7 million visitors annually, with 82% being UAE residents. Dr. Yousif Al Obaidli, Director-General of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre, attributed this success to the UAE's leadership vision and the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's legacy.
The mosque's "Dome of Peace" houses the Light & Peace Museum and "Al Jami Library", offering immersive experiences in Islamic culture. The mosque recently achieved top rankings in Tripadvisor's 2026 Travellers' Choice Awards, first in Top Attractions in the UAE and Top Experiences in the Middle East.
