The Jumeirah Mosque is a must see since it is a land mark of Dubai. It is not the largest mosque in the UAE, yet it is one of the few open to non-Muslims. The Visit Programme is hosted by The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding. The visit itself takes about an hour for a small fee. Mosque visitors get the chance to observe the prayer and learn more about the customs of worship and ask any questions under the banner program "Open doors. Open minds." Jumeirah Mosque showcases the medieval Fatimid architecture in its stone construction. Visit tours are offered daily accept Friday and begin at 10am sharp. No pre-registration is required.

The mosque tour, hosted by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, was a perfect introduction to Arabic culture and Islam. It was inexpensive, aimed at non-Muslims and we never felt as though it was a sermon or a hard-sell. The guide spoke perfect English and was happy to answer any questions. This is a great opportunity to ask all those questions you were always afraid to ask.

We visited the Lebanese restaurant on level 4 of Pier 7 for a nice dinner overlooking the Marina with the boats travelling up and down the canal all lit up. We shared a typical lebanese meal.

Possibly only one to enjoy via boat during the hot summer months, in the cooler months of the year, a stroll along Dubai Water Canal is a great way to get some exercise and get some stunning views of the city. The canal starts by Jumeirah Beach and works it’s way up through jumeirah and business bay. It is crossed by a number of varied architecturally interesting bridges and at the Sheikh Zayed Road crossing there is a stunning waterfall on either side of the road which is illuminated purple at night and parts to allow boats to pass. A throughly pleasant escape from the city, whilst remaining close to downtown.

Best place for sea and outdoor fun in Dubai. A fine addition to the city’s urban beach cred, the inspirational destination features wide open spaces with palm tree-lined boulevards, graffiti art murals and laid back charm. La Mer is sure to become your favourite address to eat, play and unwind.
