Last week we paid a visit to the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi which is counted among one of the world's largest Mosque. And I must say that it is truly a beautiful mosque. Below are some pictures taken while on the visit.

This is world's largest Chandelier though it may not look so big in the pic. It is completely made up of swarovski crystals n weights around 9-10 tonnes. There are 3 such chandeliers in the Mosque.

Also, there is a carpet inside the Mosque which is world's largest carpet. It was made by 12oo workers in 2 years and is completely handmade. It was actually made in 1 piece but because of shipping problems from Iran to UAE, it had to be cut into 3 pieces.
