Holy Jumeirah Mosque:-
The Arabic word for mosque is `masjid', i.e. place of prostration. The holy day of the Islamic week is Friday, `yaum al jum'a', on which day all adult Muslim men are commanded to go to the Jumeirah Mosque for prayer (women can perform their prayers at home). The Jumeirah Mosque where Muslims gather especially for the Friday prayer is the `masjid jum'a', the Grand Mosque.
Inside Architecture of Jumeirah Mosque:- Qibla wall of Jumeirah Mosque, the wall, which faces Mecca, as this is the direction (Qibla), which a Muslim has to face while he is praying.

Mihrab, prayer niche in the center of the Qibla wall indicating the exact praying direction. It is also the `holiest' place in the Jumeirah Mosque.
Minbar in Jumeirah Mosque , a platform to the right of the Mihrab from where the `imam', the one who leads the prayer, delivers the `khutba', the Friday sermon, which can deal with religious, social and political subjects.

Lord in Jumeirah Mosque:- In the Jumeirah Mosque Islam is forbid to create any pictures of living beings except plants, which could be worshipped. Accordingly, it is very rare to find pictures in Mosques at all. Instead, the interior is usually decorated with rich ornamental patterns and Arabic calligraphy. Before entering the Jumeirah Mosque for Prayer, the ritual cleansing (wudu') has to be performed. It starts with washing the right and left hand (3x), then the mouth (3x), the nose (3x), the face (3x), the right and left arm (3x), the head, the ears, and finally the right and left foot (3x).

Jumeirah is a coastal residential area in Dubai, United Arab Emirates mainly comprising low rise private dwellings. It has both expensive and large detached properties as well as more modest town houses built in a variety of architectural styles. The area is popular with expatriates working in the emirate and is familiar to many tourists visiting Dubai.

The beachfront area was previously called Chicago Beach, as the site of the former Chicago Beach Hotel. The locale's peculiar name had its origins in the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company which at one time welded giant floating oil storage tankers on the site.
The old name persisted for a time after the old Hotel was demolished in 1997 since Dubai Chicago Beach Hotel was the Public Project Name for the construction phase of the Burj Al Arab Hotel until Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced the new name.

Historically, Arabs living in the Jumeirah were fishermen, pearl divers and traders. In modern times (1960 onwards) Jumeirah was the principal area for western expatriate residences, but the huge expansion of the emirate since 1995 has seen a growth in housing developments across Dubai. Jumeirah is generally agreed to be one of the most exclusive parts of Dubai and this has led to the use of the Jumeirah name as a brand which signifies exclusivity (e.g. the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Jumeirah Beach Club). The ruling family of Dubai have called their upmarket hotel chain "Jumeirah" (formerly "Jumeirah International").

There has been a great deal of hotel and leisure construction along Jumeirah Beach including the world famous Burj Al Arab hotel.
Jumeirah has a mosque, the Jumeirah Mosque, which is open to non-Muslims for special tours to give insights into Islam.
Recently, a complex named Madinat Jumeirah, or "Jumeirah City," opened. It consists of an architecturally interesting shopping mall, three luxurious five-star hotels (Mina A'Salam, Al Qasr and Dar Al Masyaf), and a few residential areas. It is advertised to be the "epitome of Arabian hospitality in Dubai".

Although there is competition from many new areas, and although many of Jumeirah's well-to-do have already moved to some of those areas, such as Dubai Marina, the new Palm Islands, The Lakes, The Springs and The Meadows, Jumeirah is still one of the more expensive and exclusive areas in Dubai. The 2009 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was held on the beaches in Jumeirah.
