Take in the pointed arches, the large domes, and the stunning minaret! Situated in the heart of Dubai’s historic district, the Grand Bur Dubai Mosque beautifully blends historical reverence with contemporary functionality. Originally built in the mid-19th century as a school, or ‘kuttab’, for Quranic studies, the mosque has undergone significant renovations and expansions, most notably in 1960 and 1998. Today, it can accommodate up to 1,200 worshippers. Quite impressive!
