Can I visit the inside of Jumeirah Mosque?

The mosque stop is an exterior visit only and is not accompanied by a guided tour. Entry to the mosque interior is only available on Mondays and Wednesdays — if your tour falls on another day, you will admire it from outside.

What is the dress code for the tour?

Modest dress is required throughout the day. Shorts, sleeveless tops, and beachwear are not permitted. Women visiting Jumeirah Mosque must wear a headscarf — please bring one with you.

Lunch is included only if you book the 'Full Day with Lunch' option. On the standard Full Day ticket, you have free time at Dubai Mall to eat independently.

What is the difference between the three ticket options?

The standard Full Day covers the complete route. 'Full Day with Lunch' adds a meal at Dubai Mall. 'Full Day Tour with Burj Khalifa' includes an At the Top visit to Dubai's iconic tower.

Are children welcome, and is there a charge for infants?

Children are welcome. Children under 3 travel free of charge, though no seat is provided for them.

Does the schedule change during Ramadan?

Yes — timings and some stops are likely to be adjusted during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Check your confirmation for any updates if you are travelling during this period.
