Lonely Planet review for Grand Mosque

More than 50 small and large domes lorded over by Dubai’s tallest minaret (70m high, if you must know) give this huge mosque its distinctive silhouette. It’s much younger than it looks, dating back only to 1998, but is in fact a replica of the original one from 1900. As well as being the centre of Dubai’s religious and cultural life, the original Grand Mosque was also home to the town’s kuttab school, where children learned to recite the Quran from memory. Like all Dubai mosques except Jumeirah Mosque, it’s off limits to non-Muslims.
