How Grand could my quick trip to Abu Dhabi get than by ticking the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque off my bucket list! Coming to Grand Mosque was an actual twist of fate, unintentional and unexpected. But I have always believed in the famous saying that things happen for a reason. Believe it or not, before all of this, I had just come from sobs and tears streaming down my face. (Tell me about it) But only at the mere sight of humongous white domes and pillars against cloudless blue skies under the powerful Arab sun made me feel what heaven might be (is) like. The Grand Mosque echoes the Emirati Heritage of Islamic Architecture. And for the first time, I felt privileged to be covered in full black Abaya showing only the beauty of the face, just like a Muslim Woman's way of life. I was brought to a still, soaking up the Emirate in all it's Islamic glory. Coming to Grand Mosque was like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert. Telling me that there is always something out there bigger and greater than us. Plus, making a new friend! ;)
