Perfectly blending in with City Walk's urban aesthetic, the district's mosque takes the unassuming shape of a rust-brown cube. Moving away from classical elements such as minarets or domes, its sleek lines and glass doors reflect serene minimalism. At night, the structure is gently lit up creating an ethereal effect. You'll also want to take a closer look at the huge sculpture by Emirati artist Mattar bin Lahej on one side of the building – inspired by a verse in the Quran, it features a classic Arabic font in stainless steel crafted in the form of rippling waves.
