The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre (SZGMC) in Abu Dhabi has completed its preparations to receive worshippers and visitors during Ramadan.

The SZGMC has formed committees and teams to ensure organised and integrated work around the clock to meet the growing needs of the large turnout of worshippers and visitors by providing high-quality services and facilities during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

It has also held a series of meetings with strategic partners, including government and private entities, to ensure smooth functioning of the work system in place.

As part of its efforts to improve the level of services provided to its worshippers and visitors and to assume its social responsibility that aims to consolidate the value of volunteerism, the SZGMC enlisted over 580 qualified volunteers who work alongside the Centre's employees, the Emirates Red Crescent, the (Absher Ya Watan) volunteer team, police officers, paramedics and the Civil Defense personnel to provide the best services to worshippers allowing them to perform their prayers with reverence and ease.

Also the mosque provided more than 70 electric cars to transport worshippers from parking lots to prayer halls with priority use given to the elderly and people of determination.

Additionally, the centre has also provided 8,379 parking spaces for worshippers, including 1,500 for women and more than 60 for the people of determination. 1,800 additional parking spaces have been added this year. SZGMC has provided over 3,515 chairs and 50 wheelchairs for worshippers.
