Went to the Mosque first, it was a real breathtaking view. I was given a robe to cover myself and my hair and my husband was given a long sleeved top to cover tattoos. We toured the mosque stopping to take many pictures. It really is stunning - Instagram pictures as my son said! We then went on to The Louvre Museum. Again, a beautiful building and some amazing artifacts inside. If you are in Abu Dhabi these are a must see. Great day out. One visitor complained a young girl was making too much noise with her shoes - ridiculous and made the father very uncomfortable. So much so he carried his daughter. Quite unnecessary. If he wanted silence to appreciate the art - wait until others have moved on - don't make others uncomfortable for your own pleasure.
