President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has directed that seven new mosques in Abu Dhabi's Mohamed bin Zayed City will be named after the seven Emirates to mark the country's 54th Eid Al Etihad.
Dr. Omar Habtoor Al Darei, Chairman of the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments and Zakat noted that the mosques were designed and built in a modern architectural style that harmoniously blends Islamic art and heritage with contemporary innovation.
Covering a total area of approximately 12,000 square metres, the mosques are expected to open for worshippers in January next year, collectively accommodating around 6,000 people.
The project has been established through coordination between the Presidential Court; the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, and Zakat; and the Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi.
