Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre ranked among world’s ‘Top Attractions’ by TripAdvisor

SZGMC came in first in the region and fourth globally in the "Top Attractions" subcategory of the TripAdvisor's recently launched 'Travelers’ Choice Awards for 2022: the Best of the Best Destinations', which are based on the quality and quantity of traveler reviews and ratings for experiences, tours, activities, and attractions. It also ranked ninth globally in the awards' "Top Cultural & Historical Tours" subcategory. This achievement is one in a series of successes that underscore the mosque's position as a prominent cultural landmark on the global tourism map, as well as its renown as a one-of-a-kind edifice, which stands out among the world's places of worship and cultural and tourist attractions. Previously, TripAdvisor ranked the Centre in the top three globally. SZGMC's significance goes past its religious status as a place of worship, as it plays a key role in promoting the UAE’s message of coexistence, peace and compassion among the world’s cultures, as well as in reviving the Islamic civilisation, being a striking model of Islamic architecture. Each year, the mosque receives around 7 million visitors and worshipers from various religions and cultures, in what could be described as an ever-changing painting epitomising tolerance and coexistence among human beings,
