Officially opened in 1978, the Jumeirah Mosque is the only Mosque in Dubai that is open for non-Muslims to enter. While anyone is free to visit the Mosque and take pictures from the outside, to enter the Jumeirah Mosque for a tour that will allow you to take pictures inside the Mosque, you should visit The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.
From here a registered guide will take you on a 1 ½-hour tour of the Mosque and hold a question and answer session at the end of the tour. So not only will you be able to tour and take pictures from inside this beautiful Islamic structure, the tour will also allow visitors a very rare glimpse into the country’s religion.
The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding looks to raise awareness for local customs, traditions, and culture, as well as bring people together from all nationalities. It's an important focal point for understanding the culture and history of Dubai.
