About Jumeirah Dubai Mosque
Jumeirah Mosque is not only a tourist attraction in Dubai but also has religious significance and is an important landmark of the city.
This church is one of the most beloved architectural treasures in Dubai. Opened in 1979, the Holy Jumeirah Dubai Mosque is a gift from the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who was the Ruler of Dubai and the father of the current Ruler of Dubai HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The architectural style has its roots in Syria and Egypt and can accommodate around 1500 worshipers. It was built entirely of white stone in the medieval Fatimid tradition, with towering twin spiers surrounding a large central dome. When it is lit up at dusk, the artistic complexity and beauty are truly highlighted.

This is one of the most beautiful mosques in Dubai with exquisite details well worth a visit for everyone visiting the city of Dubai. This medieval Fatimid-style mosque has been built with great care and attention to intricate artwork, nature-inspired mosaics and Arabic calligraphy. Magnificent arches, murals, and pillars support the ceiling and roof in the most artistic fashion. The mosque has been embellished with shades of blue, off-white, cream, yellow and brown.

The floors are decorated with artfully woven rugs, while the interior of the dome features a delicate pale yellow baroque pattern. The exterior of the Jumeirah Mosque is off-white, which not only looks pure and pristine, but also gives a sense of serenity. The facilities and facilities for prayer inside the church have been created keeping in mind the comfort and ease of the followers of Islam.

After cleaning the feet, hands and face at the cleansing area, worshipers proceed to the designated area to pray. Worshipers face Mecca and offer holy prayers.

If you are not a Muslim, you can still visit and get to know the place through the Sheikh Mohammed Cultural Learning Center that organizes a tour of the Mosque to better understand the events and history associated with this religious site.
