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.
