The Al Farooq Omar bin Khattab Mosque is one of the UAE’s largest. It's fondly known as Dubai’s very own 'Blue Mosque', inspired by Turkey’s famous Sultan Ahmed Mosque, blending the best of Ottoman and Andalusian styles. It features four soaring minarets, 21 domes, 124 stained-glass windows and a traditional fountain. Open to all visitors, you'll find thousands of Turkish iznik tiles adorned on the walls and arches inside, complemented by rich red and gold carpets on the floor. The mosque offers great views outside as well, thanks to its location opposite the rolling greens of Al Safa Park.
