Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque:

Although not a part of the city of Dubai, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque needs a special mention in this list. Located in the neighbouring city of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the Grand Mosque is nothing but splendid. The mosque is spread around the area of 30 acres. Apart from a mosque, it is also the resting place of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The architecture of this mosque reflects Mughal, Persian and Moorish designs. While the entire thing is constructed using marble stone, you can also see elements of ceramic, gold, crystals and other precious stones in its design. It is also the mosque which has the largest carpet in the world. Along with the main prayer hall that has the capacity to hold around 7000 worshippers, there are two smaller halls which can hold 1500 people each at the same time. Overall, the mosque can hold 40,000 worshippers.
