We started the day with a visit to The Louvre, an art and civilization museum, located in Saadiyat - Abu Dhabi. The museum was established on 8 November 2017. It is part of a thirty-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. After this fascinating visit, next was tea and cake at the Emirates Palace Hotel before heading to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The largest mosque in the country, it is the key place of worship for daily prayers, Friday gathering and Eid prayers. During Eid it may be visited by more than 41,000 people.
