Better known as Dubai's 'Green Mosque', Khalifa Al Tajer is the first eco-friendly mosque in the region. Islam has a rich tradition of highlighting the importance of conserving natural resources, and this 100 percent environmentally-friendly mosque reflects that. Located by the east of the iconic Dubai Creek, the mosque is built using green materials and features solar panels for power and a climate-controlled system that regulates air-conditioning according to prayer times and number of visitors. The mosque is also in the vicinity of Deira's famous Gold Souk, so there's lots to explore nearby.
