Visit the main shrine of Dubai, the only mosque in the city which you can enter regardless of religion, sex and race.
Jumeirah Mosque - a building of pink sandstone, ivory with two minarets, columns and a dome traditional for the medieval temple complexes of the Fatimids, is considered the main shrine of the city. However, the peculiarity of the mosque is not an exquisite sight, but an opportunity to get inside without professing Islam.
