Abrahamic Family House
We went to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, a unique place where three religions come together: Christianity, Judaism and Islam ✝️🕎☪️
The house is named after Abraham, the prophet who is revered in all three languages.
We visited the three places of worship: Imam Al Tayeb Mosque, St Francis Church and Moses ben Maimon Synagogue. Despite the differences, there are so many similarities and common values. This house is a powerful platform for creating mutual understanding and acceptance. It is a beautiful, serene and impressive place.

- Pope Francis, Head of the Catholic Church;
- Dr Ahmed El-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar Mosque;
- HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, President of the UAE;
- HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
