Here we are landing in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, before flying to Nepal. This is Abu Dhabi from the air… 

While waiting for our next flight, the team and I tour the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. This is a picture from inside the court…

And from outside the mosque at dusk…  

Construction of this mosque was started in 2006, and was completed on December 20, of 2007. It’s cost was 2 billion dirhams (US$545million). It is considered to be the key place of Muslim worship in the United Arab Emirates.
