The Jumeirah Mosque is a must see since it is a land mark of Dubai. It is not the largest mosque in the UAE, yet it is one of the few open to non-Muslims. The Visit Programme is hosted by The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding. The visit itself takes about an hour for a small fee. Mosque visitors get the chance to observe the prayer and learn more about the customs of worship and ask any questions under the banner program "Open doors. Open minds." Jumeirah Mosque showcases the medieval Fatimid architecture in its stone construction. Visit tours are offered daily accept Friday and begin at 10am sharp. No pre-registration is required. Plan to arrive at 9:30am for registration and enjoy Emirati snacks and hot beverages. Doors will close at 10:05am and will reopen at 11:15am. There is only one guided tour daily. Entry fee is 20AED per person while children under 12 free. The Mosque grounds are open all day, and you may view the Jumeirah Mosque's beautiful architecture from the outside any day of the week. Located at the end of Jumeirah Beach Road, the closest Metro stop is Al Jafiliya. From there you can take a short taxi ride to the mosque or transfer to C10 RTA bus. Modest dress is advisable, however national attire can be borrowed at the door.

The mosque tour, hosted by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, was a perfect introduction to Arabic culture and Islam. It was inexpensive, aimed at non-Muslims and we never felt as though it was a sermon or a hard-sell. The guide spoke perfect English and was happy to answer any questions. This is a great opportunity to ask all those questions you were always afraid to ask.

This is a beautiful mosque we stopped at on a city tour of Dubai. They provide you with robes to cover up if you decide to go inside, which I definitely would recommend. It’s a gorgeous interior with a beautiful dome, chandelier, and windows. It is fun to learn about the culture!

I'm visiting Dubai from the UK, and staying in the Marina and was looking for a mosque to pray Jum3a. I found this Masjid and had a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful Masjid both inside and out, and in the evening looks even more beautiful with all of the lights. It was full of Muslims from all over the world, and the imam was really good. After the prayer, there was even a brother who gave an English khutba, as you can imagine, a lot of people do not understand the Arabic khutba, so this was a nice addition.

peaceful, calming, spotlessly clean, well organised masjid on main road of Jumeriah 2. Ladies section upstairs with convenient area for toilets wadu Easy parking front and back a pure pleasure to enter and always smells nice. Garden by Ladies area at back and mens wadu outside in a big area. Best to go early for Friday (Jummah) prayer to get a decent car park in the back streets Well located with one street behind is the Open Beach which is fabulous and a play area at the far end of this beach for children. Iman is clear and there is a good microphone system. Woman had plenty of prayer outfits and small bottles of water freely available and chairs My favourite masjid in the entire Dubai
