Review of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah free guided tour.

#fujairah:💰Average Price per Person:0 💞Reasons to Recommend: 2nd Largest Mosque in UEA Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah, the second-largest mosque in the UAE, was a truly remarkable experience. This architectural marvel combines tradition with grandeur, and the free, private guided tour made it even more special. Being the only visitor during my tour, I received personalized attention from a knowledgeable guide who shared fascinating insights about the mosque’s design and history. One of the highlights was discovering the enormous carpet in the main prayer hall. It was originally crafted as one piece in Belgium but later cut into two sections for transportation and then meticulously sewn back together into a flawless, unified masterpiece. The level of detail and craftsmanship was awe-inspiring. The mosque’s interior is stunning, with its intricate Islamic designs, towering chandeliers, and peaceful ambiance. The spaciousness of the prayer halls is breathtaking, showcasing the mosque’s ability to accommodate up to 28,000 worshippers. Below ground, there is a smaller prayer room reserved for female worshippers. While I couldn’t access this area, my guide explained its thoughtful design and significance, emphasizing how the mosque ensures a welcoming space for everyone. This visit was not just about admiring the beauty of the mosque but also about learning more about Emirati culture and Islamic traditions. The fact that everything—from the entry to the guided tour—was free made it all the more exceptional. If you’re ever in Fujairah, this mosque is a must-visit. Its grandeur, peaceful atmosphere, and the hospitality of the staff make it an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss the chance to see this cultural and architectural gem for yourself!
