A striking structure, Al Salam Mosque comprises multiple domes arranged in a stacked, pyramid-like fashion. Its exteriors catch the eye with crimson-red bricks, gold domes and white accents along the edges. It embodies a mix of Emirati and Ottoman architectural influences and, on its front facade, reads the shahada – one of the five pillars of Islam. The mosque is especially dramatic at night when shimmering green and gold-hued lights show off every intricate detail. While not open to the general public, visitors can admire this masterpiece from the outside.
