Queen arrives in Abu Dhabi for state visit

The trip began with a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have arrived in Abu Dhabi for a five-day state visit to the Gulf.

The monarch is in the region as part of government moves to renew the UK's relationship with the Gulf Arab states.

The Queen last visited the UAE in 1979 when she was a guest of founding father and ex-president of the Emirates, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan.

The Duke of York is also on the royal visit and was already in the UAE to greet his mother on arrival.

Jumeirah Mosque Open Doors. Open Minds.

After the daily visit to the clinic we stopped at the Palm Strip mall opposite Jumeirah grand mosque. Even better views of the mosque and Burj Khalifa. You can hear the Adhan (call to prayer) from the mall. When it was time for prayers i just crossed the road. The masjid is even more beautiful inside. once inside we are all the same from the millionaires with their expensive 4 wheel drive hummers, landcruisers and BWM's to the dock workers. No difference all muslims attending the friday prayers. Jumeirah mosque is open for tours to all to increase awareness and understanding between various nationalities living and visiting the Emirates. The Open Doors. Open Minds . mosque tour takes one hour and a quarter, and visitors are invited to discover more about the life and religion of the Emirates by asking as many questions as possible. Every Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday at 10:00am Jumeirah Mosque
