Open to non-Muslims, stunning architecture, cultural insight
"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."
"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
"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
"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
