How long did it take you to walk from the Oasis of Dignity to the Grand Mosque? since I'm sure one is not able to just cross the highway.

Hi Anthony. Thanks for sharing. I have shots of the outer facade but have seen recent images of the reflection. Is it on the opposite side of the parking? How do I get to Wahat Al Karama after parking my car at the main entrance?

Thomas Weiß 21.06.2018

This pic is awsome. How did u do this. I tried also to find a place like this, but with no luck. The position you have marked seams to be a building. Is it taken from inside?

Torsten Bahr 21.06.2018

Dear Thomas, the spot is publicly accessible. The only difference to the satellite pictures is that the square at the middle is now water, which wasn't there yet at the time when the satellite imagery has been taken. Just park at the other side of the road (parking marked on the map above) and walk there in less than 5 minutes. Have fun!

Thomas Weiß 21.06.2018

Thank you so much! I will retry it at xmas, when I'm back there.

Anthony 03.11.2018

The spot is at Wahat Al Karama which translates to “oasis of dignity". The circular pool providing a reflection of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is in the centre of the Memorial Plaza. You'll need a tripod and long exposure as a busy motorway runs between Wahat Al Karama and the Grand Mosque.
