Jumeirah Mosque

The Jumeirah Mosque is one of Dubai’s most iconic religious landmarks and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Built in the traditional Fatimid style, it is constructed entirely of white stone and features intricate detailing, minarets, and a central dome.

Unlike many mosques in the region, Jumeirah Mosque is open to non-Muslim visitors as part of the “Open Doors, Open Minds” program organized by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU). Guided tours provide insights into Islamic traditions, Emirati culture, and the role of faith in daily life.

For Dubai, Jumeirah Mosque symbolizes cultural inclusivity and interfaith dialogue, making it a top destination for cultural tourists. It is also one of the most photographed mosques in the emirate, especially during sunset.
