Default Mosque

What is the most beautiful mosque you can find in Dubai? Well, in addition to its physical appeal, which one has the best location, and which one gets the most regulars coming into it. I love the mosques in Middle East, they are funded so much and look so beautiful. In the west you don't even hear the adhan during the prayer times.

The official religion of this place is Islam, so it is quite natural that Dubai has lot of Mosques and we also know that structures erected here are state of the art.The two most famous Mosques in Dubai are-Grand mosque, it is the tallest minaret of Dubai and the other one is Jumeirah, it is also one of the dominant landmark of Dubai.

Yes the grand mosque is quite spectacular. I think the Jumeirah mosque is beautiful as well because of its massive dome. It is true it is one of the landmarks of Dubai, I think mosques in general are landmarks of any muslim country. It is true that there are a lot of mosques, I just was curious as to what other people thought about them. There are many others that are not as popular but are still quite spectacular to look at.

And remember to see their different forms of architecture. This is one of the most fascinating aspect of Islamic architecture influenced by different cultures. Differences like single big dome vs multiple small domes are very interesting to learn about.

More about the fascinating Jumeirah Mosque:

This fine example of modern Islamic architecture was built in 1998. It is a dramatic sight set against blue skies and is especially beautiful at night when lighted. Built of smooth white stone, this twin- minarets elaborately decorated mosque is a city landmark as well as important place of worship.

It was built quite recently and yes, a lot of these mosques look beautiful during the day and have a completely different beauty at night. Since a lot of times they are made with quality stones, they glisten in the moonlight, it is quite an amazing sight to see. They use very nice stones to build them, both the outside and the inside and the stairs and everything.
