Grand Mosque ornamental Window


Beautiful arabic ornamental window at the grand mosque, abu dhabi, united arab emirates. Architectural detail from the majestic Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, it is probably one of the most imposing religious and national landmarks in Abu Dhabi to date. It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of the contemporary UAE society - and one of the most beautiful in the world - initiated no less by the late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of the United Arab Emirates. This Mosque is one the world’s largest mosques, with a capacity for 40,000 worshippers. It features 82 domes, 1,000 columns, 24 carat gold gilded chandeliers and the world's largest hand knotted carpet.
