Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
The Mosque is supported by 96 columns in the main prayer hall which are embedded with more than 20,000 handmade marble panels encrusted with semi-precious stones, including lapis lazuli, red agate, amethyst, abalone shell and mother of pearl.
The main prayer hall also features the world’s largest hand-woven Persian carpet (7,119 square metres).
The Mosque features seven 24-carat gold-plated chandeliers which were imported from Germany, all designed with thousands of Swarovski crystals.
This is the largest of these chandeliers, hanging from the main dome of the Mosque. It is considered to be the biggest in the world, measuring 10 metres in diameter, 15 metres in height, and almost nine tonnes in weight. That’s a lot of chandelier!
