The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a must-see at dusk.

Sheikh Zayed Mosque is so beautiful... Especially at dusk, The blue sky is gradually dyed orange by the sunset. The moment the lights in the temple come on, Accompanied by the chanting of the scriptures on the radio, At that moment, I was shocked. - 🕌Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque ⏰Opening hours: 9:00–22:00 🎫Tickets: Free (but you need to make an appointment in advance to select the entry time, and the staff will scan the QR code when you enter) 🌟Recommended visit time: 17:00–18:30, this is the best time in my mind, you can see the architectural landscape in three states: day, dusk, and night 👉Covering an area of 22,000 square meters, it is the largest mosque in the UAE. The building is all white, mysterious and holy. 👉Women are not allowed to show their hair, arms, and legs when visiting. It is recommended to prepare headscarves and long skirts/pants. Ripped jeans, tights, slightly see-through skirts, and T-shirts with obvious patterns (cartoon animals, portraits, special symbols, etc.) are not allowed. No special requirements for shoes, sandals, slippers, or sneakers are all fine. 👉Because this is a very serious place, you can't make a "Yeah" gesture, jump, spin, or play around when taking pictures. Couples can't be very intimate when taking pictures. There are many staff members around watching at any time. If the headscarf slips off when taking pictures, or if there is an exaggerated action, they will come over and ask to see the material just taken and ask you to delete it. - 📷Photo spots: 1️⃣Navigate to viewpoint on the mosque, you can take a panoramic view of the mosque in the reflection of the pool, it is recommended to come at night, it is more beautiful after the lights are on; 2️⃣The pool outside the main entrance, close to the water surface for symmetrical composition, especially at dusk, is very photogenic; 3️⃣The two side corridors in the temple are very beautiful, but the left side is for tourists, and the right side is blocked and not allowed to enter. I asked the staff and they said that only prayers can enter; 4️⃣The ground pattern of the entire square is not painted, but made of marble, which is really magnificent. There are several places in the middle of the corridor for tourists to walk into the square to take pictures. The further you go, the fewer people there are, so it is recommended that you go further back~ 5️⃣The interior of the prayer hall is also luxurious and exquisite, and it will be more shocking to take a wide-angle shot.
