Sheikh Zayed
Mosque
The Sheikh Zayed mosque, white and
impressive, with 1,000 columns and 80
domes, is one of the largest in the world.
The Italian mosaics, the gold and pearls,
and the tapestries in the interior of the
mosque are truly impressive.
In its name in Arabic, the letters dance
with the rhythm of an unmistakable me-
lody, in harmony from right to left.
Sand, dunes, seawater, neon lights,
minarets bathed in gold, and modern
buildings that shine when you enter
the city; that is Abu Dhabi, unmistaka-
ble. Situated in a T-shaped island in the
south-eastern part of the Persian Gulf,
the city has a population of more than
1.5 million.
Abu Dhabi is the capital and, after Dubai,
the second most populated city in the
United Arab Emirates. It is the country’s
political and administrative hub par ex-
cellence, home of the presidential re-
sidence, ministries, embassies, and of
most oil companies.
