Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue, Jewish house of worship at Abrahamic Family House, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue is a place of worship in Abu Dhabi featuring a distinctive bronze exterior with a latticed diagonal pattern. The interior incorporates natural light throughout, with areas for study, ritual bathing facilities, and guest accommodations for visiting rabbis.
The building opened in 2023 as the first purpose-built synagogue in the Gulf region for nearly one hundred years. Its completion marked the return of organized Jewish worship to a place where such religious practice had been absent for generations.
The walls display the Ten Commandments in Hebrew, with golden menorahs and traditional Jewish symbols adorning the prayer space. Visitors experience these elements as part of daily religious life and worship in this setting.
The building is part of a larger religious complex and welcomes visitors on designated days, though local guidelines should be respected. Guests should prepare for formal dress and check in advance for specific visiting hours and any entry requirements.
The building stands next to a mosque and a church as part of a unique multi-faith complex with shared communal spaces. This side-by-side arrangement demonstrates an unusual approach to interfaith understanding in the region.
