Sheikh Zayed MosqueOne of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi and its capital city of the same name combine desert and coastline, urban sophistication and cultural tradition. Here, visitors snap photos near the Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan Mosque, also known as the Grand Mosque.
