The Jumeirah Mosque has one large main dome which puts it in the Anatolian Style of mosques. This mosque has 2 minarets...the tower from which the call to prayer is broadcast 5 times a day. Every mosque in the world has at least 1 minaret but no more than 7, the number on the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
"Open Doors, Open Minds" is the name of the program which allowed us to enter the mosque....the only one which allows non-muslims in. The program is offered 4 times/week for one hour and was an excellent opportunity to learn about the beliefs of this religon.
Not all Mosques are this elaborate on the outside.
Heads are covered, feet are washed, so we're ready to go inside......
