Built in the medieval Fatimid style, the Jumeirah Mosque is one of the few mosques in Dubai open to non-Muslim visitors. Guided tours run by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding explain Islam and Emirati traditions, with time for questions.

The tour is relaxed and friendly, and usually includes light refreshments. It is a good introduction to local culture early in your trip.

Tickets / priceThe guided tour costs about AED 45 per person (older guides say AED 35–40), including light refreshments. Visits are only possible on a tour.
