Description:
BUR DUBAI. The Grand Mosque, located in the city's Bur Dubai section, is actually a recreation of the original Grand Mosque, constructed in 1900. Traditional Persian details abound, such as domes, an inspiring sky-blue mosaic, sand-hued facades, handmade stained glass, and wooden shutters. The Grand Mosque is also home to Dubai's tallest minaret, where the muezzin, or crier, calls the people to prayer. Non-Muslims are not permitted inside the mosque. |

Description:
JUMEIRAH. This exquisite structure is one the city's most noted and photographed landmarks. The Jumeirah Mosque, located a few minutes' drive from the beach area, is a gleaming example of a contemporary take on traditional Muslim architecture. The entire structure is built of white stone, and its two towering minarets reach skyward, flanking the mosque's crown-like central dome. Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter mosques in Dubai; however, you may enter the Jumeirah Mosque if you are part of an organized tour. |
