Al-Aziz mosque, Abu Dhabi, Mosque in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Al-Aziz mosque is a place of worship on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It consists of three levels: a basement with a secondary prayer hall and ablution facilities, a ground floor with a main prayer hall that holds about 1,050 people and living quarters for the imam and muezzin, and a first floor with a prayer space for women.

Al-Aziz mosque was established in 2015, at the start of Ramadan, as part of a group of new mosques in Abu Dhabi. It was designed and built by APG, Architecture and Planning Group, and funded by Hasan Abdullah Ismaik at a cost of 65 million dirhams.

The exterior walls are covered with the 99 names of God in Arabic calligraphy, which glow at night through the translucent concrete. Inside, the main prayer hall has a large coffered ceiling with geometric shapes and a square chandelier in the center, and the mihrab on the qibla wall is decorated with these names.

The mosque sits on the corner of Um Yifeenah Street on Al Reem Island, easy to find by car or taxi. Visitors should dress modestly and remove their shoes before entering, and non-Muslims can visit outside prayer times, especially in the evening when the facade is lit.

The minaret stands apart from the main building, about 30 meters high, and is reached by an internal staircase for the muezzin to call to prayer. The facade uses translucent concrete with embedded optical fibers, so at night the calligraphy appears to float against the structure.
