About this audio guide
This guide to the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island opens on the February 2023 inauguration of its mosque, named for Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb, who was notably absent from the event bearing his name. It follows the interfaith project's origins in a 2019 declaration on human fraternity signed with Pope Francis, and the backlash from Al-Azhar scholars in Cairo that followed the mosque's opening. Stand in the shared garden between the three houses of worship as you listen.
