I am on vacation in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I have been spending most of the time laying on the beach and by the pool. But today I went to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. It was built by the first President/ King of Abu Dhabi. It is simple and intricate all at the same time. It is probably the most beautiful building I've ever visited aside from the LDS temples I have seen. All of the pillars and walls are white marble with hand done stone inlay. It has the largest hand tied Persian carpet in the world. It is a working Mosque so out of respect the gave me an Albia to cover my arms and hair. It wasn't a regular one, it looked a lot like a robe from Hogwarts. Never the less the Mosque was absolutely breathtaking.
