Important Information

The Mosque holds a religious and sacred position for all. Visitors to the Grand Mosque should, therefore, abide by specific rules and show their respect by following the guidelines. It has recently been noticed that a majority of visitors/tour groups associated with Tour Operators are frequently borrowing Abayas (Arabic Ladies' Dress) offered by the Center, as a result of such visitors failing to comply with the Grand Mosque's operative dress code. Accordingly, starting from Tuesday, 29 October 2019 the Shk Zayed Grand Mosque Center will not offer Abaya borrowing service to any visitors/tour groups associated with Tour Operators.

So, please pay strict attention to the dress code when visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Failure to observe the dress code will result in entry to the monument being restricted
