Forty-five people worked 12 hours every day, except Fridays, to finish the maintenance work.
The seven exquisite, iconic chandeliers of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque recently underwent maintenance — and it had been a grand project on its own.
With a taskforce of topnotch Emirati engineers assembled, it took 45 people 45 days to finish a complete overhaul of the chandelier system.
All the special attention given to the massive maintenance work was anchored on a goal to preserve the chandeliers, said the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre (SZGMC).
“(It) is carried out as part of a strategic plan adopted by SZGMC to ensure future generations can continue to appreciate the mosque’s rich architecture,” said Salem Al Suwaidi, director of support services at SZGMC.
