The area
Neighbourhood: 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 neighbourhoods, 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.

- BS1 contributionBrilliant facilities, information and guidesThe mosque is small inside compared to the other grander and bigger ones, but the outside is gorgeous and the visitors centre (Majlis) is fabulous with a museum, gallery, refreshments including drinks and snacks, shop and henna available. Tracey (Latifa) was our guide and did an excellent presentation. Did not expect it to be as informative and engaging including a prayer demonstration. So impressed by their open doors and open minds perspective whereby they aim to educate and inform to reduce the stigma. Highly recommend.Thank you for this beautiful feedback! Yes we try our best to reduce and try to eliminate the stigma around us and we're glad we are able to reach your hearts! Thank you for coming and we hope to see you soon again.Written 19 June 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited June 2023Travelled soloWritten 12 June 2023
- Vasily G1 contributionAmazing Mosque tourThe 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!Written 17 July 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 22 June 2023
- Ashley G2 contributionsBeautiful mosque, peaceful and educational experience.My husband and I visited Jumeirah Mosque, and we had an amazing, immersive experience. We were greeted by the kind staff upon arriving. Ahmed was our guide, he was wonderful explaining Islamic customs and practices. They also offer traditional clothing you can borrow during your visit, although I feel it’s best to arrive modestly dressed. For the ladies, there is a woman who will help wrap your head scarf. The building itself - the grounds and the interior are beautiful. We highly recommend a visit to this beautiful mosque.We're beyond happy to know that you and your husband have enjoyed your time here with us.

- Kathleen M2 contributionsGreat experience all around!Fantastic experience-we appreciated the snacks, henna, and falcon picture as well as just having a place to sit in the heat! More importantly, we learned a lot from the mosque tour and museum. I would recommend this to anyone, especially with the inexpensive price. They also have a beautiful gift shop which we preferred compared to many touristy shops we had seen at the mall.Visited July 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 6 July 2023
- yam66Stirling, United Kingdom24 contributionsSo interesting!Very informative and interesting visit. The guide was so knowledgeable and kind. He answered all the questions and gave us the time to appreciate our surroundings. Great insight in the history of the mosque and the Islamic prayers. You can go to the shop also and explore further the culture and take part in workshops. A must in my opinionVisited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 August 2023
- Domen SLjubljana, Slovenia11 contributionsMust do in DubaiSuperb. The experience as a whole. Very informative - the ticket include museum and photo exhibition, coffee or tee and sweets.

- M_apple1Miami, Florida32 contributionsOpen Doors, Open Minds. Truly worthwhile!A visit to this mosque and participation in the program allows for learning about a different culture/religion. We had the ability to ask questions in a “safe space” without fear of saying or seeing the wrong thing. I highly recommend participating. A great way we started our visit to Dubai!Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 3 October 2023
- PhilippaEly, United Kingdom10 contributionsFantastic VisitWell worth a visit. Beautiful building and incredibly informative. You are made to feel so incredibly welcome, everyone is approachable and keen to share their beliefs with you. The tour guide we have was wonderful and tan the tour in a really light hearted way. Loved seeing the women’s prayer room filled with toys - it’s a living, breathing place of worship. Not stuffy at all. Thoroughly recommend.Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 18 October 2023
- Anna’s view of the world 🌎Dubai, United Arab Emirates12 contributionsJumeirah mosque visitGreat, informative and friendly tour. Food from the buffet was lovely way to start the tour. Tour guide was really calm and friendly , used lots of life situations and funny stories that were taken really well by public. Falcon photo and the henna tattoo is a sweet cherry at the top of the cake. Thank you for this great experience , hope to come back soon.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 20 October 2023
- 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 2023Travelled with familyWritten 28 October 2023

Thank you very much for your informative explanations about the mosque and the principles of Islam. I sometimes find Islam religion a bit inaccessible, so I very much appreciate your open doors approach.

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)
What will be the opening hours during Ramadan?

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?
Julieoh212
Greenwich, CT19 contributions
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?

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!

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.
