The Grand Mosque is located between the textile souk and the Dubai Museum close to a small stream in the Bur Dubai area. Originally built in 1900, demolished and built again in 1960, it then underwent a further rebuilding in 1998 .
It now holds up to 1,200 worshippers. Non-Muslims are permitted to enter the Mosque daily from Sunday to Thursday from 9am to 1130am for free tours.The mosque is the hub of Dubai’s religious and cultural life.
The mosque was originally a school devoted to study of the Qur'an, known as a kuttab, which welcomed its first students in the year 1900 to learn the Qur'an by rote.
This building was replaced by a new mosque on the same site in 1960, which in turn was itself rebuilt in 1998, closer in style to the original of 1900.
This mosque is one of the largest in Dubai and is dominant edifice in the old city.
The tallest feature of the mosque is the 70-metre (230 ft) minaret, the tallest in Dubai, which resembles a lighthouse. The sandy-grey walls are generally unadorned, but there is a large Quranic inscription inlaid above the five columns of the entrance facade, which sit at the top of a short flight of six steps.
The 45 small and nine larger domes with the tall minaret cover the roof of the Grand Mosque. The wooden windows are fitted with hand-made stained glass and blend well with the old town of Bur Dubai, and its minaret is designed in Anatolian architectural style.
Visitors to the mosque are advised to dress conservatively. The mosque has a capacity of up to 1,200 worshippers. Nearest metro station is Al Fahidi.response / report this review -

The best mosque I have ever visited ❤️. If you are travelling to Dubai , you should make this your first tourist spot to visit and I am for sure ,you will never regret it. The artistic work of each corner of the mosque is soo beautiful that you would never find anything more prettier.

Biggest masjid with a lot of amneties and amble space. Very hygenic interiors and exteriors. Iftar packet distribution during ramadan. Best place for getting some peace of mind in the busy and crowdy atmosphere of Meena Bazar.

This is not the most exciting mosque to be seen in Dubaï. I invite you to visit Jumeriah mosque.
