United Arab Emirates
This beautiful interpretation of traditional Ottoman architecture is one of the only mosques in Sharjah open to the public.
The Al Noor Mosque was built in 2005, but its architecture is based on the historic Ottoman style. The 34 domes and towering minarets overlooking the Khalid Lagoon make it one of the most beautiful of the 600 mosques in Sharjah. During their Ramadan donation campaign in 2014, the mosque set the Guinness World Record for the "World's largest wooden charity box". Another distinction is that this is one of the emirate’s only mosques that is open to non-Muslims. Free tours operated by the Sharjah Centre for Cultural Communication inform visitors about the on the mosque's design, as well as Islam and Emirati traditions, and end with a complimentary Arabic coffee.
