The area
Neighborhood: Jumeirah
Years ago, before the skyscrapers, before the 12-lane highway, there was only Jumeirah. In fact, when the UAE was formed, its rulers signed the agreement in Union House, at the very start of Jumeirah Beach Road. Often called “The Beverly Hills” of Dubai, a drive down Beach Road reveals one enormous, lavish villa after another. Originally residential-only neighborhoods, they are now also home to an array of cafes, smart boutiques, and art galleries. Home to one of Dubai’s few public beaches, this recently renovated area includes a new boardwalk, running and walking track, with changing facilities and cafes along the way. Another landmark, Jumeirah Mosque, is the only mosque in Dubai that can be entered by non-Muslims. As part of the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, the mosque hosts regular tours and talks about Islam, as part of an “Open Doors, Open Minds” program. A wonderful way to understand more about the UAE and Islam.

- M_apple1Miami, Florida46 contributionsOpen Doors, Open Minds. Truly worthwhile!A visit to this mosque and participation in the program allows for learning about a different culture/religion.

- Rosa A1 contributionBeautiful mosque and kind peopleThis was a great experience. We were welcomed with open arms. We got received with local sweets and could walk around a gallery and the museum part. After this we went inside the mosque. This mosque is beautiful decorated and was very calming. Our guide told us a lot about Islam and the mosque with pride. You can see how much he cares for the mosque. We were encouraged to ask as many questions as we could think of, and i did. This was an amazing experience and we were so happy that we saw another part of Dubai as well.Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 28, 2023

The mosque tour, hosted by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, was a perfect introduction to Arabic culture and Islam. It was inexpensive, aimed at non-Muslims and we never felt as though it was a sermon or a hard-sell. The guide spoke perfect English and was happy to answer any questions. This is a great opportunity to ask all those questions you were always afraid to ask.

Mosque building itself very disappointing especially after our visit to the Abu Dhabi Mosque. The entrance fee included a date, dough type ball and tiny Turkish coffee or tea but was still expensive. Guide knowledgeable but slightly indoctrinating. She spoke about the building itself for a couple of minutes and 40 minutes on Islam

Dear Marguerite,
Thank you for your comment. The Jumeirah Mosque has a different experience than the Grand Mosque but both are well known and worth the visit to see the different styles and architecture. The fee for the mosque also includes the gallery upstairs and now a newly built museum as well.
We hope to see you again :)!

The mosque tour was a highlight of our Dubai stay. Achmed was an excellent guide and made sure that there were no questions unanswered. They have two tours per day (except Friday) at 10am and 2pm.
I wish I would have found out earlier, then I would have done the bus tour around Dubai as well.

Hi,
Had heard about Jumeirah Mosque in Dubai & wanted to visit because it is the only mosque in Dubai which is open to non-muslims. Went there on a weekday for a guided tour which lasted about 75 minutes. The entry fees were about 40 AED in which one is given some light refreshments & some tea (pix attached). In case, if you are wearing shorts then, a Kandora (Islamic dress) is given for male to cover him before entering the place. Our guide told us about the five pillars of Islam & other things before we went inside the place where there would be Q&As. One of the person in the mosque showed us how to pray. Overall, its a nice place to visit. Nothing spectacular.

A mosque with beautiful architecture. Medium in size, not one of the most impressive I've seen. I didn't manage to visit it inside, there are only two guided visits a day, at 10:00 and 14:00.
I visited the small museum with exhibits from Dubai's past, located in an adjacent building, for which a small fee is paid. The price includes a tiny traditional coffee and the opportunity to take a photo with a real falcon.
Also here you can drink (for a fee) a cappuccino with camel milk, a classic coffee or an iced juice.
There is also a small souvenir shop.

In our day of visit, it was closed due to someone’s death, without any previous notification. This information was not on the website, only on a printed paper on the door... there were many tourists came for the 10.00 tour, all of them modestly dressed, prepared for the tour, and then... nothing. Maybe next time....but now it was a disappointment that they couldn’t informed the people on the closure.

We had a wonderful experience on the tour. Our guide Ahmed was very educational and answered everyone's questions. It really highlighted how many things we all have in common across all cultures. I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Dubai, even if they only have a few days here. We had read that we needed to arrive 30 minutes early but we only arrived 10 minutes early for the 2 PM session and we're still able to join without a problem.

I recently visited Jumeirah Mosque and it was an unforgettable experience. The mosque’s stunning architecture, with its intricate details and majestic domes, is truly a masterpiece. The guided tour provided a deep insight into Islamic culture and the mosque’s history, making it both educational and enriching. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel at ease, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai—it’s a beautiful and enlightening place to visit

The Mosque tour was really interesting and informative. Im fact, for a very reasonable price of 35 AED one gets not just a Mosque tour but also free tea/coffee, sweets, a falcon photo set and museum tour. Taking into account how overpriced and overadvertised almost everything is in the UAE, this Mosque tour seems to be a perfect investment of time and money.

Thank you for your valuable feedback! That's true, the entrance ticket includes not only the Jumeirah Mosque Visit but also the Entrance to the Once Upon a Time Museum, the Gallery, refreshments, the henna and the falcon. =)
Thank you for coming and we hope to see you soon again!

The Jumeirah mosque open as normal as daily at 10.00 AM and 2.00 PM except Fridays and Sunday (For the guided tour costs AED 25 per person)

I'm Christian (not Muslim), but I know that Dubai does not shut down completely during Ramadan. I guess the Jumeirah mosque may open as normal as daily at 10.00 AM and 2.00 PM except Fridays (25 AED/person)

Hi, can I pay the tour with a credit card? And can I bring my backpack with me to the mosque and tour?
Written September 15, 2019
Yes to CC and backpack. It's a (large) one room waiting area/buffet experience/gift shop, ie "open concept." And it's an around the corner Mosque, one large room - no extensive walking and no smaller rooms. They really want to teach non-muslims about Islam, without any conversion mumbo-jumbo. Very friendly. Very open.

What is the appropriate dress code for men and women? I understand that women should wear a scarf over their head; however, is it required that legs are also fully covered for both men and women?
Written September 7, 2019
It is more appropriate that you have have your body full covered with long sleeves and trousers (or long skirt etc) and head cover (women).
Men should also be modestly dressed, i.e. not ripped jeans, tight bottoms or Short shorts,
Any bottoms below the knee should be fine

Hello Carrie, the Mesquita Jumeirah is a mosque so there is no entry fee. I visited it free of cost. If you’re referring to another site by the same name, I don’t know about it and hence can’t give you a correct response.
Hope you have an enjoyable trip to Dubai and the Emirates.

Is there anywhere to leave beach bags? It seems a bit disrespectful to go on the tour inside carrying a big bag!
Written April 28, 2019
To be honest I cant see why that would be an issue. If you want to know in advance, I would go on the Jumeirah mosque website and ask them the question?
I did this a couple of times before I went to Dubai and they responded very quickly.
Hope that helps.
Written June 28, 2019
Assolutamente no e questo perchè hanno le loro funzioni e non si può entrare per visitare e fotografare.
