Abu Dhabi's Blue Mosque, reminiscent of Arabian Nights.

A must-see destination in Abu Dhabi is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Locals simply call it the "Grand Mosque," but due to its dazzling lights and marble that glows blue, travelers often refer to it as the 'Blue Mosque.' Admission is free, but you need to make an online reservation in advance, so I booked a time slot on the website before visiting. From afar, you can see the large domes and majestic white exterior, and up close, it feels like a palace. The marble floors and the reflection of the building in the shallow water pools in the garden create a mystical atmosphere, making every step awe-inspiring. Inside, you'll find the world's largest Persian carpet, chandeliers, and intricately carved floral patterns on every pillar. The massive chandelier hanging from the ceiling is made with Swarovski crystals, reflecting light and sparkling beautifully. Dress code: Women are required to wear an abaya (long robe) and hijab (headscarf).
