ARABIC & INDIAN FOOD at Roadside DHABA from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, UAE

RUZAINA: https://www.instagram.com/theminoritytaste MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ With another day in Abu Dhabi ahead of me, my friend Ruzaina and I set off to have more Indian food and to visit a local mosque! Join us as I eat Indian dhaba food and go on a mosque tour with Minority Taste in Abu Dhabi, UAE! We started our day at the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque, the most important Islamic site in the UAE. It’s also one of the most respected and most beautiful Islamic sites in the world! DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here The mosque is a beautiful white color. Our first stop was the courtyard, which is 17,400 square meters and can fit 31,000 worshippers. There’s a lot of intricate marble, which comes from different Islamic cultures. The mosque was built in different architectural styles. The courtyard’s floor is the largest marble mosaic artwork in the world! The mosque was built to convey a message of peace and tolerance. There are also 82 domes and over 1,000 columns! This mosque was spectacular! I’d never been to one this beautiful. There are so many details on the columns, including gold-plated palm fronds and painted marble mosaics of flowers. As we headed to the main prayer hall, we saw more gorgeous mosaics of flowers. The ceilings are at least 100 feet high and there is calligraphy from the Koran inscribed on the inside of the dome! The main prayer room has a single continuous hand-knitted carpet—one of the largest in the world! There are so many intricate details in it!
