Visitors cannot possibly miss Dubai’s most impressive mosque on Jumeirah Beach Road. Based on the medieval Fatimid style of the Egyptian caliphs, it is an outstanding example of modern Islamic architecture: two minarets tower over a majestic dome; high archways accentuate the main entrance, above which hang three heavy iron chandeliers. European stonemasons were hired for the filigree designs on the sandstone surfaces. The numerous diamond-patterned stone window grilles have an impressive effect. The ivory-coloured place of worship, where even members of the ruling family gather for Friday prayer, is encircled by spacious lawns. Non-Muslims can access the mosque as part of a guided tour organized by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding
