About
The Jumeirah Mosque stands on Jumeirah Beach Road in Jumeirah 1, Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It is one of the most photographed mosques in the city, and it is also one of the few mosques in Dubai that welcomes non-Muslim visitors.
What you will see
The building is a fine example of modern Islamic architecture, designed in the tradition of medieval Fatimid building. Its clean lines and carefully proportioned domes and arches make it a rewarding subject for anyone interested in architecture, and its setting along the road gives it a striking presence in the streetscape.
What kind of visit it makes
A visit here suits travellers who want to understand the faith and culture of the place they are in, as well as those who simply enjoy looking at buildings. Because it is one of the few mosques open to non-Muslim visitors, it offers a rare chance to see a working religious building from the inside, rather than only from the outside.
- Good for architecture lovers and photographers
- A window onto Islamic culture for visitors of any faith
- Easy to combine with a walk or drive along Jumeirah Beach Road
The area around it
Jumeirah is one of Dubai's best-known residential and coastal districts, with beaches, cafés and shops along its main road. Pairing a visit to the mosque with time on the nearby coast or in the surrounding neighbourhood makes for a balanced half-day.
