The Amna Bint Ahmad Al Ghurair Grand Mosque, located in the emirate’s Al Safia area, stands out for its blend of traditional and modern Islamic design and architectural elements, with an emphasis on Moroccan and Andalusian styles.
Spread over 15,000 square meters, the mosque is predominantly in white and gold, incorporating verses from the Quran inside. Unique calligraphy work creates a maze design on its minaret. Its windows are decorated with Islamic motifs and allows natural light into the structure, adding to the worshippers’ visual experience. The mosque includes a prayer hall for women that can accommodate 100 worshipers, in addition to an outdoor courtyard that can accommodate more than 2,000 worshipers, and housing for the imam and muezzin. The mosque features two golden domes and a 50-meter-high minaret, made of high-quality gold-plated plastic materials, with the phrase “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” written on it, repeated along the length of the minaret.
