Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Fujairah, Ottoman mosque in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque is a place of worship in Fujairah designed with Ottoman architectural features and traditional Islamic elements. White granite and marble form the main materials, while six tall minarets and multiple domes create its distinctive profile.
The mosque opened in 2015, and Fujairah's ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, led the first Eid prayers there. It is the main mosque of the Emirate of Fujairah and the second largest in the U.A.E. after the mosque of the same name in Abu Dhabi. It stands on Mohammed bin Matar Road in central Fujairah City.
The mosque serves as the spiritual center of Fujairah, where the local community gathers for daily prayers and religious celebrations. It shapes the rhythm of city life and provides a gathering place for worshippers throughout the year.
The site features spacious outdoor areas and gardens that help visitors understand the layout before entering. Arriving in modest dress and paying attention to prayer times allows for a respectful visit to the interior or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The main prayer hall holds a chandelier 18 metres tall, 13.5 metres across and weighing seven tonnes, described in Arabic sources as the first of its kind in the Gulf region. Four smaller chandeliers, each four metres wide and 6.5 metres tall, hang in the same ceiling.
