A mosque with a capacity of 500 worshippers has opened at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Named Grand Mosque, the facility's design "incorporates tradition by reinterpreting the essence of a traditional mosque design with a contemporary style", a Press statement said.


The design was inspired by Islamic architecture and refers to it by reinterpreting the essence of a traditional mosque design but in a contemporary context, utilising Islamic architectural elements such as Mashrabiya. The mosque includes a dedicated ladies' prayer area and can also accommodate the Jummah prayer, the statement added.

It was designed by leading architectural firm RMJM.
