Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque

Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque is the Islamic house of worship within the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. It stands beside St. Francis Church and Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue, three separate sacred buildings created within a shared centre for worship, learning and interfaith dialogue.

Abu Dhabi’s Media Office records that the Abrahamic Family House was inaugurated on 16 February 2023, with public visitor programmes beginning from 1 March. The three houses were designed by Sir David Adjaye and Adjaye Associates with equal external dimensions: each is a cube approximately 30 metres wide, deep and high, while retaining architectural features specific to its faith.

Official Abu Dhabi material notes that the mosque is oriented toward Mecca. The wider project grew from the 2019 Document on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi by Pope Francis and Grand Imam Ahmed El-Tayeb. The mosque functions as an active Islamic prayer space, with scripture recitation and religious services forming part of its intended use.

It should not be described as a miracle or apparition site; its significance is religious, architectural and interfaith. As checked on 27 September 2026, the official Abrahamic Family House website carries a temporary-closure notice, so travellers should verify reopening before visiting.
