Jumeirah Mosque
مسجد جميرا
One of the few mosques in Dubai that welcomes non-Muslim visitors, a white stone building in the Fatimid style, with guided cultural tours.
Built in 1979, the mosque has a medieval Fatimid-style exterior that looks especially elegant when lit up at night. Guided tours are organised by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU), usually starting at 10:00 from Saturday to Thursday. Each tour lasts about 75 minutes and includes a question-and-answer session and Arabic coffee and dates, at a cost of around AED 35. Visitors must wear long sleeves and trousers, and women must cover their hair with a headscarf (available on site). The mosque is closed to visitors on Fridays. It is on Jumeirah Beach Road, about a 15-minute drive from central Dubai.
