It’s all in the details. Interior colonnade of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque with floral-inlaid columns and gold palm capitals, showcasing the blend of traditional Islamic motifs and modern craftsmanship. The 1,096 columns in the outer area are designed to resemble date palms. The "fronds" at the top are made of gilded gold, and the white marble stems are inlaid with semi-precious stones (like lapis lazuli, red agate, and mother-of-pearl) in a technique called pietra dura, similar to the Taj Mahal. These columns aren’t just beautiful; they tell a story of culture and craftsmanship.
