Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Abu Dhabi



This is the 3rd largest mosque in the world, able to hold 40,000 worshippers at once! The chandeliers are the largest in the world, made of Swarovski crystals, gold & silver. The carpet, from Iran, is the largest hand-made in the world. It took hundreds of women more than 2 years to complete. The thread is woven so tightly that it is fireproof! No, Ingrid did not convert...she has issues with me taking any more wives. You can go here to see a nice video of the mosque...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzW021XoJRs&feature=related
