The area is big indeed, because the mosque is surrounding by nice garden, water fountain, parking space @TravellerG

I never been to Abu Dhabi but i have used the airport just only for the transit while travelling to London. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a very big mosque and beautiful in UAE; more than 40,000 people can pray at a time inside the mosque.

Dear @AbdullahAM bhai

Thank you so much for sharing with us an excellent informative post about the Malaysian National Mosque.

Gardens with mosques are rarely seen in our country. It is really a great thing to have a garden next to mosques.
