Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Mosque
مسجد الشيخ خليفة بن زايد
Completed in 2021, this grand mosque in Al Ain can accommodate about 20,000 people, and its white dome and four minarets have become a new city landmark.
Sheikh Khalifa Mosque lies north of Al Ain's city center. It is one of the two largest mosques in the UAE and blends Ottoman and local architectural styles. The main prayer hall has a huge central dome and crystal chandeliers, and the courtyard is spacious. It is open to visitors outside prayer times. Visitors must wear long sleeves and trousers, and women must cover their hair; robes can be borrowed at the entrance. The mosque looks especially impressive when the lights come on at night. A taxi from the city center takes about 10 minutes.
