The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi literally left us speechless. Words cannot describe the emotions we felt stepping inside this structure, and no photograph could do it any justice. This was the perfect sight to see our last day in the United Arab Emirates. We were exhausted, irritable, and hungry by the time we made it to Abu Dhabi. We had taken the bus from Dubai, and slept the majority of the way. A friend of a friend was gracious enough to take us to dinner after we explored the Grand Mosque and Emirates Palace, and let us shower and rest at her beautiful home before our late night flight back to JFC/NYC. Since nothing I write can fully depict the elegance, the mystique, the power and extravagance of things, I will simply leave you with pictures.
It was a truly humbling, and spiritual moment.
The one word that came to mind was opulence looking at these pictures!! It's beautiful!
