Mary, Mother of Jesus Mosque

The mosque features four minarets and a large central dome adorned with geometric patterns, alongside several smaller domes across its white stone exterior.

Initially constructed in 1989 as Mohammed bin Zayed Mosque, the structure received its current name in June 2017 under the directive of Sheikh Mohammed.

The mosque demonstrates religious harmony through its location next to Christian complexes, including Saint Joseph's Cathedral and Saint Andrew's Church in Abu Dhabi.

The religious complex accommodates 2000 worshippers and maintains an open interior design without columns, featuring Islamic calligraphy on the inner surface of the dome.

The dedication to Mary, mother of Jesus, represents the first mosque named after a figure central to both Islamic and Christian traditions.
