Abu Dhabi is one of the most luxurious destinations on our planet. And this is not surprising. After all, being the capital of the state, on which unheard of natural resources suddenly fell, it is impossible not to amaze everyone around with its grandeur and beauty.
Abu Dhabi is considered not only the administrative, but also the cultural center of the state. The abundance of its attractions can turn the head of even experienced travelers. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think over the route in advance for those locations and objects that are most interesting.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque has a fabulous look. Its domes and minarets rise above lush gardens and are visible from the passages linking the island with the mainland. This temple has become a symbol of the Arab capital.
The structure has four minarets, each of which reaches 107 meters. The temple is crowned with 80 white marble domes, which are supported by 1000 columns. The building is considered a masterpiece of Islamic religious architecture. It is also pleasing that this is one of the few Muslim temples that are open to visits by representatives of other faiths.
The mosque offers free guided tours in English and Arabic. During a guided walk, you can learn the basics of Islam, as well as the peculiarities of the construction of a mosque.
Another stunning structure is the Louvre Abu Dhabi. It was built by the outstanding architect Jean Nouvel. It houses a unique collection of works of art, from ancient times to modern times. The collection is located in 12 galleries. At the same time, works are grouped by themes and historical periods, and not by country. Thanks to this, visitors have a unique opportunity to travel through a variety of world civilizations, without national or geographical barriers.
Museum visitors can see the most unexpected combinations. So, for example, in the same room you can find a Chinese bronze dragon, which is located next to the Persian archer of the Achaemenid times. Or the bronze head of the Benin emperor, which is located next to the samples of French or Italian painting.
The highlight of the collection is the oldest statue of Ain Ghazal, which dates back to the 7th millennium BC. And also a statuette of the daughter of the Bactrian rulers, whose age is more than 5 millennia. Here you can also see a stone sculpture of Prince Gudea, who belonged to the dynasty ruling the city-state of Lagash, where Iraq is now located.
Of interest will also be a fragment of the decorative decoration of a Buddhist stupa dating back to the II century, a bronze statue of a lion from the same historical period, as well as paintings by Picasso, Joan Miró, Mark Rothko.
