Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful Masjid in Sharjah in the corniche area. Amazing view of the lagoon. Best viewing time is just before sunset.
Open for tourists to come inside and see. Use the link to book the slots. Nice place to learn about Islamic Culture.
Most amazing when the light festival is there. Stunning.
Women’s prayer hall is available.
Large parking space.
Wheelchair accessible.

Locating facing to the lake, this mosque is unoquely beautiful. You may combine your trip to visit this mosque, then jogging along the AlNakheel park, have dinner nearby (KFC, Hardee, Burger King) or keep walking a bit farther to Al Majaz waterfront where there are several nice restaurants to enjoy. From the mosque, it is about 1 km walking distance

Did not enter the mosque but a very beautiful Mosque on the setting of the al Noor Island. Its a very huge mosque. The Adhan and the prayers are well heard around the island as well. It was the beautiful experience while all the birds praised Allah when the prayers were going on. This is one mosque had Arabic and English translation done as the next day was the Friday and all precautions too taken as mosques were being opened for the first time for Jumaa Prayers to the public.

Good evening. I am staying near Union and Baniyas metro stations. Will either metro line take make near the Masjid?

None. You have to take the bus to Sharjah from union bus station. Once you are in the bus ask the driver to drop you next to Medicare hospital in king Faisal road Sharjah.
Then, cross the streets to the other side and you will walk between the buildings till you reach the lake. Approximately 5 minutes walk

Вовнутрь можно попасть в 10-00 по понедельникам. Это время, когда местный культурный центр проводит экскурсию для путешественников на английском и арабском языке. Но при условии, что понедельник не выпал на местный праздник или религиозный исламский праздник. Все остальные дни посещение мечети неверными не рекомендовано!
Стоимость экскурсии - бесплатно. И даже в конце экскурсии предложат местный кофе. Общее время экскурсии около 45 минут.
Одежду, если Вы будете одеты недостаточно строго, выдадут перед началом экскурсии.
