"The largest mosque in Dubai and the only one open to non-Muslims, the Jumeirah Mosque dominates the upscale beach area. The cream-colored sandstone structure with twoslim minarets holds some 1,200 faithful. Though it looks historic, the mosque only dates as far back as the late 1970s. An hour-long guided tour takes visitors throughthe pale-yellow-and-azure interior. As you admire the magnificent ceiling decorations, you'll also get a nice break from the cityheat and noise."

The 25 Best Things to Do in Dubai

"As the only mosque in Dubai that's open to non-Muslim visitors, the Jumeirah Mosque is popular with a range of travelers—it's also the most photographed. Easily one of the most beautiful in the emirate, it's crafted entirely from white stone in the medieval Fatimid style and particularly breathtaking at dusk. Visitors are allowed in six days a week (Fridays are for prayer), and tours are led by knowledgable guides who make the experience." - Melinda Healy

How to Save Money in Dubai (& 9 Cool Things to Do There) in 2025

"I visited Jumeirah Mosque on a guided tour (they run at 10am and 2pm) and found it to be a small, single-room mosque that offers a cultural introduction to Islam; the tour costs 35 AED, includes a great breakfast spread, and is more about cultural information than a typical sightseeing tour." - Matthew Kepnes

Dubai: The Las Vegas of the Middle East?

"Seeing the Jumeirah Mosque during my time in old Dubai—an area without skyscrapers, expats, or Western stores—helped me experience the city's more traditional side alongside mosques, markets, small restaurants, and shops." - Matthew Kepnes

While all mosques in Dubai are theoretically open to the public 24 hours a day, only Jumeirah mosque actually welcomes inquisitive holiday visitors and operates a guided tour at a notional cost around US$10 per person. The tour includes unlimited tea, coffee, water, dates and fruit in the waiting area, an explanation of the five pillars of the Islamic belief system, and demonstration of the prayers by a tour guide inside the main mosque itself. Shoes must be removed and scarves worn. There is also an adjoining museum showcasing the formation of the UAE in the early 1970s, and a playpen containing live camels and hunting birds with which you can pose for photographs. Taxi drivers are well aware of its location and there is no need to buy tickets in advance.

A beautiful and welcoming mosque with stunning architecture. The guided tour is informative and gives great insight into local culture and traditions. The atmosphere is peaceful, and it’s a great spot for photos, especially around sunset. Definitely worth a visit if you want to understand Dubai beyond the modern skyline.

Purely a tourist place. The animals — camels and the falcon — look unfortunate, and everything there feels staged. The people working with tourists aren’t locals; they’re just dressed like locals. It’s strange, because to truly introduce culture, you need real, traditional native people. I’m a little disappointed that this costs 45 AED, especially since I can experience much more authentic things in Saudi Arabia, Al Ain, and Abu Dhabi. It’s a good initiative, but the quality of the experience and the program itself isn’t great. It’s nice that they offer free appetizers, coffee, and tea, but to be honest, Arabic food is usually much tastier than what they served. They also provide free henna. Conclusion: if you first time in Arabic World - yes, try. If you live here for many years - such a boring place.

It’s a welcoming Muslim temple where non-Muslims are invited to learn about their religion and culture! The design is very nice, and the people inside greet you warmly without any barriers. Visiting this peaceful place gives you a truly soothing experience.

Very kind staff who really made an effort to give everybody a good experience. The talk inside the mosque was more about the fundaments of Islam rather than the mosque itself (which I would have personally preferred) but I suppose the guides know better than I where the core of their audience is and what they come to hear. BTW, the refreshments offered as part of the tour were excellent and the majlis next door to the mosque was very nice.

Beautiful architecture and peaceful surroundings! Visiting Jumeirah Mosque was a wonderful cultural experience. A must-visit for tourists! The mosque is open to non-Muslims for guided tours, and it’s a great way to appreciate the beauty and hospitality of Emirati culture.
