Jumeirah Mosque / Grand Mosque
The city has many fine mosques. One of the largest and most beautiful — Jumeirah Mosque — is a spectacular example of modern Islamic architecture.
Built
of stone in medieval Fatimid tradition, the mosque with its twin minarets and
majestic dome is a city landmark. It is particularly attractive at night when
subtle lighting throws its artistry into relief.
The elaborate Jumeirah
Mosque is Dubai's most admired mosque from the outside and one of Dubai’s most
photographed sights.
Grand Mosque
Situated on the Bur Dubai side of the Creek near the Ruler’s Court, Grand Mosque
was re-built in 1998 and now has, at 70 metres, the city’s tallest minaret.
It has 45 small domes in addition to nine large ones boasting stained
glass panels, making it a distinguished landmark and important place of worship.
