The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque In Abu Dhabi

By Cynthia Sax on April 22, 2025

One of the must-see FREE sites to visit in Abu Dhabi is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I took the public bus to the Mosque. We got a bit lost, looking for the public entrance (grins), but the security guards stationed around the Mosque’s beautiful grounds were extremely helpful. As was everyone we encountered.

Mosque rules apply. Shoulders and knees and, for female-facing people, heads must be covered.

I always travel with a head scarf in Muslim countries. I also cover my shoulders. And I never wear anything shorter than below-knee-length capris.

That is, IMHO, respectful outside the Mosque also. The women seem to appreciate my efforts (they are friendlier and more likely to offer help) and the men tend to show me more respect.

There was an awesome and FREE English-language tour, which gave us access to parts of the Mosque other visitors didn’t have and our guide shared with us the history and the architecture of the Mosque.

Take your time, if you can, at the Mosque. The details are exquisite and everywhere you look. It is very much a work of art. And, if you can find a quiet, uninhabited part of the Mosque, you will likely FEEL the spiritual vibes emitting from it. I found it to be an emotionally powerful place.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this ‘flower’ licking his little nose in Abu Dhabi.

(smiles)

I am still undecided as to the fate of the Moonbeam re-releases. I REALLY want to re-release these fun 100 page alien romances. But I don’t want to waste my awesome cover designer’s time. I respect her too much for that!

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Try to lick your own nose. I can’t manage it. I CAN fold my tongue in two lengthwise. (grins) I consider that to be an accomplishment. And I can lick other people’s noses. (laughs) That’s doable. But only do that if you KNOW they don’t mind having their noses licked! Humans can be strange about that for some bizarre reason.

Claiming Cure

A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.

***

Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.

There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.

Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.

The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.

But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.

Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.

He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.

His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.

Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.

But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.

Cure has an assignment to complete.

If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.

***

Claiming Cure is a standalone Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features two skilled medics determined to ignore the toe-curling attraction between them, a perilous impossible mission, and foes seeking to ensure they never heal another being ever again.
