We have chosen some highlights in Abu Dhabi for today's city tour.
An absolute must-see is the Sheikh Zayid Mosque 🕌 an incredible building and the 3rd largest mosque in the world (1st and 2nd are in Mecca and Medina)! Some remarkable numbers and facts: 38 engineers, 11 years of construction, 30 different types of marble, 82 domes, 5,000 - 20,000 visitors every day... and fittingly: the 5,700 sqm handmade carpet is disinfected daily 😷 it was knotted by 1,200 women in Iran in 9 parts from wool and cotton with 2,268,000 knots.
The mosque is closed for Friday prayers...
A lot of emphasis is placed on tradition and respect for faith and culture here. Among other things, that's why Michaela became Aishe 👘☺😂 the wardrobe is unusual and hot, but after some time, it's very comfortable....😉
Afterwards, we continued to the date market - here, due to the heat, we were treated with delicious dates with nuts and chocolate on the bus. 😋😋😋 very tasty! If you wanted, you could buy dates in abundance at the market...
Last destination on our tour: Heritage Village - a traditional oasis village was recreated here and you can be transported back in time. In addition, the location offers a fantastic beach with a view 😙😙😙
After 'Boarding Completed', we returned to the hotel all sweaty - absolutely worth seeing places here in Abu Dhabi! 🕌🕌🕌
