Arcades (exterior corridors)

The four arcades of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – Al Fujairah with all their decorations and esthetics add to the beauty of the mosque, mainly, because they ease the movement around the unroofed open portion of the Sahan. In addition, the arcades of the mosque played a significant role across the Islamic history in the teaching religious disciplines, as preachers delivered lessons to the students.

Lamps and lanterns were placed across the arcades, some fitted while others dangled from the domes. As for the extravagant Othman style chandeliers, they were further made of tinted glass and copper.
