Description:
One of the largest and most beautiful mosques in Dubai, Jumeirah Mosque is a spectacular example of Islamic architecture. Built of stone in the medieval Fatimid tradition, it is one of Dubai's most photographed landmarks, especially at night when its two minarets are illuminated with ground lights. It is also one of the few mosques in Dubai that is open to non-Muslims, with guided tours taking place four times a week. Organised by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, the one-hour mosque tour includes information on Arabic culture and Islam, with guests encouraged to ask questions. Attendees are required to remove their shoes before entering the mosque and are asked not to touch the religious books on display. Photography is permitted.
