Though a hedonistic holiday destination Dubai is a Muslim country, with its traditions and culture. Thus while lying in the beach or perusing the stores in the many Malls or even enjoying a drink in one of the many luxury hotels, you’ll hear the muezzin’s call to prayer. When in Dubai pay homage to its culture by visiting the Jumeirah Mosque. Built in the Fatimid style starting in 1976, this is the most photographed mosque in all of Dubai. Its also the only one opened to non Muslims visitors. To truly understand the cultures and tradition of this new yet ancient land make sure to stop by The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding for a comprehensive overview of Arabian culture.
