The welcoming mosque’s open-door policy encourages visitors from around the world, from families to groups, solo travellers to celebrants, to not only witness its beauty but also gain a deeper understanding of the emirate’s cultural beliefs in a space that encourages open dialogue. The largest mosque in Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque can welcome up to 55,000 worshippers and visitors every day. Completed in just over a decade, the mosque was built to embody Islam’s foremost message of peace and tolerance and welcome people of all beliefs.
On Friday March 3, 2017, I had permission to take photos on top of the Index Tower in Dubai at sunset. The security guy that accompanied me, told me I was the first photographer - to his knowledge - with permission to get at the top of this building. It was a magnificent view over Dubai's Burj Khalifa, Jumeirah, Burj al Arab and Marina.
