Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

The mosques is named after the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.  The structure was established to unite the cultural diversity of the Islamic world with the historical and modern values of architecture and art. The Sheikh's final resting place is located on the grounds beside the same mosque. The mosque was constructed from 1996 to 2007. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. An absolutely amazing structure.

It’s also where Rihanna received negative criticism for taking photographs with the Mosque in the background, during a private visit in 2013. Remember?
