Located close to Dubai's glittering coastline, Jumeirah Mosque has become a city landmark. Built in 1976, this elegant structure features regal white minarets and an intricate dome reminiscent of the Fatimid architectural traditions from Syria and Egypt. Its interiors are bright and airy, adorned in pastel designs, Islamic calligraphy and golden chandeliers. Looks familiar? That's because an image of the Jumeirah Mosque appears on the AED500 bank note. This mosque is open to the public too, with the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding offering daily guided tours that are worthy of every holiday itinerary.
