Dubai's mosques range from a landmark open to non-Muslim visitors on guided tours to neighborhood masjids that locals return to five times a day. Jumeirah Mosque alone has drawn over 7,000 Google reviews, nearly double the next-largest mosque on this page, and every mosque here holds a rating of 4.6 or better.

Short answer: Jumeirah Mosque is the most-reviewed and best-known mosque in Dubai, rated 4.6 from over 7,300 reviews, and one of the few in the UAE offering guided tours for non-Muslim visitors. For worshippers, Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque (4.8 from 3,927 reviews) and Grand Zabeel Mosque (4.9 from 1,243 reviews) both draw strong praise for architecture, cleanliness, and prayer facilities.

How we put this list together

We use live Google data: each mosque’s rating, how many people have reviewed it, and how recently reviews came in. We do not rank mosques on spiritual merit; this list reflects publicly available data about the mosques and their facilities. No mosque can pay to change these numbers or its position on this page.

Is there a cost to visit a mosque in Dubai?

Daily and Friday prayers at all mosques on this page are free and open to Muslim worshippers. Jumeirah Mosque’s guided cultural tours for non-Muslim visitors may involve a ticketed fee; check current pricing directly with the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding before visiting.

Mosques across Dubai

These mosques span Dubai from Jumeirah and Al Safa to Al Satwa and Za’abeel near downtown, so most residents have a mosque within easy reach for daily prayer. If you’re searching for a mosque near me, note that mosque locations and prayer facilities are widely available across nearly every Dubai neighborhood beyond just the ones listed here.

What to know before visiting a mosque in Dubai

  • Are there separate, dedicated facilities for women worshippers?
  • Does the mosque offer guided tours or cultural visits for non-Muslim visitors?
  • What are the prayer time schedules, especially around Friday Jumu’ah prayers?
  • Is parking available, and does it fill up during peak prayer times?
  • Does the mosque run community or educational programs beyond daily prayer?
  • What’s the dress code expectation, particularly for visiting tourists?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these mosques?

We pulled real Google Business data for mosques across Dubai, including star ratings, review counts, and review recency, and ranked them using that data alone.

How often is this page updated?

This page reflects data verified in August 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Can non-Muslims visit mosques in Dubai?

Yes, at select mosques. Jumeirah Mosque specifically offers structured guided tours for visitors of all faiths. Other neighborhood mosques are generally reserved for worship, so it’s respectful to check before visiting outside of an organized tour.

What should visitors wear when visiting a mosque?

Modest dress is expected at all mosques, and Jumeirah Mosque specifically requests visitors bring or wear a head covering. Loose, non-revealing clothing covering the arms and legs is the general standard.

The bottom line

Jumeirah Mosque is the right starting point for visitors wanting to learn about Islamic culture through a guided tour. For daily prayer, Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab and Grand Zabeel Mosque both draw the strongest and most consistent praise from worshippers on this page.
