Well - this was a great change from most of Dubai and we really enjoyed the session with Tracey, who explained a lot we didn't know about the Muslim religion.

A guided tour of the Mosque starts with registering and then going to the lounge where light refreshments are available. A guided tour is given, with an interesting talk on their faiths and beliefs. Very friendly and informative. Recommended.
