5 Stunning Mosques of Dubai - Places of peace and serenity!

The Jumeirah mosque is open daily. And if you are looking for a Palm Jumeirah hotel close to the mosque, you can check out properties such as Avani Palm View Dubai. It is claimed to be the mosque in Dubai that receives the most photographic attention. The mosque is a sophisticated homage to historical Fatimid style, replete with minarets and elaborate domes that are entirely white in colour. Everyone is welcome in the mosque, regardless of race or religion. You may take advantage of organised tours, which are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am to 11:15 am. And during the weekends from 10 to 11:15 am.

The mosque is situated in Al Safa 1, just across the street from Al Safa Park. In addition to being one of the biggest mosques of the UAE, the Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque can seat 2,000 worshippers and is just the third mosque of its sort to let non-Muslims within its premises. There is Ottoman calligraphy throughout the mosque that was influenced by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul and given an Andalusian twist. The outside architecture takes after the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul, which is called the Blue Mosque because of the thousands of Iznik tiles that cover its arches and walls and give it its distinctive blue colour.

The mosque, which is situated in Al Barsha is very close to the Mall of Emirates. In addition to having a seating capacity of 1,500 worshipers, the mosque's interior designs and Islamic artefacts represent the spirit of UAE architecture combined with elements of Andalusian as well as Ottoman architecture.

Also referred to as the 'Green Mosque,' Khalifa Al Tajer Mosque is touted to be the first eco-friendly mosque here in the Islamic world, and it opened its doors in Port Saeed, Saudi Arabia, in July. Featuring energy-saving LED lighting and solar cells to fuel the battery storage technologies and heaters and a temperature management system to adjust the air-conditioning systems as per the number of visitors and prayer times, it is 100 per cent ecologically friendly.

The Iranian Mosque, also referred to as Imam Hussein Mosque, seems to be the only Iranian mosque in the United Arab Emirates and is situated on Al Wasl Street, near the Iranian Hospital, located in Jumeirah. Aesthetically, the elaborate design of the structure is reminiscent of Persian architecture. The azure blue faience slabs on the outside walls, which are adorned with elaborate floral designs and curvilinear twirls in a frenzy of colours including red, yellow, green and white, are a remarkable feature. Everyone is welcome to take advantage of pre-arranged trips.
