Prince Charles and his wife Camilla on Sunday started a three-day visit to the UAE coming from Oman.
Upon their arrival the couple visited Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, escorted by Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, and Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, Minister of State for Tolerance, who welcomed the British royal couple before they attended a meeting on religious tolerance inside the mosque. 
Prince Charles and Camilla viewed the architectural master piece while expressing their admiration for its distinctive features. Following the tour, they headed to another part of the grounds where they signed the guest book. 
“The Duchess was just so humble, and she spent a good time chatting to us ... this was such a special experience for us,” said Sara Saeed Al Hameli, President of the Zayed University Student Council, who met Camilla at the event along with her fellow students. She added that the Duchess told them that she was very impressed with the sheer number of UAE women and their distinctive role in the country’s progress. 
“She said she had never seen that in any other country...she also said she was very impressed with people’s positive attitudes in the UAE,” added Al Hameli. 
The couple are scheduled to attend the inauguration of the UK-UAE Year of Culture at Jahili Fort in Al Ain on Monday as well as a number of other events.
Charles and Camilla are on a week-long tour of the region which started in Oman on Saturday and are expected to visit Bahrain later.
This was the couple’s second visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and the eighth time Prince Charles has visited the UAE since his first tour in 1989.
