5 unforgettable Ramadan experiences in Abu Dhabi

Night tours have a special kind of magic. As the sun sets, lights begin to play across building facades, creating a captivating dance of light and shadow.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque showcases this beautifully with its unique lunar lighting system. This innovative system mirrors the moon's phases, projecting light onto the mosque's exterior marble and domes. When the moon is a crescent, the light has a distinctly bluish tint. As a full moon approaches, the lighting becomes increasingly brighter and more luminous. Learn more about the mosque's features or better yet, book a Sura Evening tour to experience it! 

Surround yourself with the rugged beauty of Jebel Hafit Moutain’s towering silhouette and enjoy a stunning stargazing experience.
