I think it would be rather incongruent with the outdoor cafes and nearby hotel terraces. Also, mosques here tend to have large open parking lots around them so people can rush in by car when the prayer call rings. On second thought it would be nice for the residents of surrounding towers to get the prayer calls in their windows in the wee hours of every morning.

Amen to that - and make it multi-faith so all believers in God can mix freely and respect one another! Like in India, where a Mosque, Sikh Gudwara, and Hindu temple all exist on the same peice of land.

The aethists can hug the trees...

Marina Mosque, Dubai Marina, Dubai, is an integrated development of two public spaces designed to act as a unit within the prestigious location of Dubai Marina Waterfront.

One part of the site functions as a mosque with an adjacent public space to act as a plaza which links up with the marina promenade. With the contemporary designed mosque and equally modern spatial arrangement of the site extending into the pedestrian plaza, the site becomes a lively, vibrant and stimulating place. This space becomes a unique example of the new face of mosque design within a meaningful public context.

So which plot is this for, MST or the one near the Jewels? or maybe even the small mystery plot by Time Place?

Considering the number of residents in the marina its likely the mosque will be fairly big. However very much doubt it will be on MST plot as Betterhomes still claim that this project will be going ahead at some stage.

So which plot is this for, MST or the one near the Jewels? or maybe even the small mystery plot by Time Place?

Plot in front of The Jewels was supposed to be a £1m all singing all dancing water feature and open park area according to the sales people at Cayan, being donated by some local influential family...

So maybe at Timeplace. :dunno:

So which plot is this for, MST or the one near the Jewels? or maybe even the small mystery plot by Time Place?

I think is was posted before as the plot opposite side of the marina from The Jewels, in front of Manchester Tower. This plot is currently used as a general site compound and store area as it is not owned by anyone. It is also flanked by low rise buildings so would fit in well here :)

I think True Blue is correct, it should go here:

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/3347/photo002qy0.jpg

^^ I'll be so happy for that location .

I think it should be central or one at other end too

I also wish more than one mosque in the Marina .

:)

Any further news on precisely where the DM mosque(s) will be sited?

it is still not even started, 2 years after

Well, maybe they could build it on the site of the Lighthouse - not much likely to be going on there for a very long time!

Cancelled. Mafi flus.

Really nice,thanks!

Wow!! That’s by your Zumurd Tower... right Imre?

Wow!! That’s by your Zumurd Tower... right Imre?

Close to the Zumurud and Orra Marina , the location is next to the Marina Star plot .

Surprising that there is only the one mosque for such a populated area.

IMO adds authenticity to this district:)

:banana::banana::banana:

This cant be good for property value of Marina Star... I was hoping it would become a Park,

Not sure about that. Where I live in the uk property values are higher nearer a mosque. But then the same applies to those nearer or overlooking a park instead of row of terrace houses.

FINALLY! They DESPERATLEY needed one! IMO...they need atleast one more in the marina...and two in JLT...

R

Imre, thanks for the update. Exciting news - hopefully they will start building it soon. Definitely agree there should be a few more dotted around to cater for such a built up area. Would be handy if they put another at the tallest block corner.

What % of marina inhabitants are muslim?

Likely 60%,, though It's for all,,

Would expect 120,000 people trying to use it....

One won't be enough.

Hopefuly there will be no loudspeakers... marina is noisy enough.

I agree...there should be one at either end...IMO they could make a HUGE on on the Marina Sky Towers plot. and the plot between those other two towers could be used for a supermarket or something whose rent could go to help with the upkeep.

^^:lol: Perhaps that's why they chose this part of the marina, it's far quieter than the tallest block end.

I own properties in this part of the marina and would certainly not have a problem with loudspeakers. As I alluded to above, this mosque adds a certain middle eastern authenticity, if that's the right word, to this part of the marina. As well as catering for the spiritual needs of my muslim neighbours.

Not sure about that. Where I live in the uk property values are higher nearer a mosque. But then the same applies to those nearer or overlooking a park instead of row of terrace houses.

Clearly it is a major asset for tenants to be able to walk to their nearby Mosque in the marina. I don't expect there will be any significant parking provision built in.

JLT will also have one, or two mosques at the other side of SZR.

Time to build a church in the Marina and to listen to the church bells in the morning! We need a new noise:-)

Will this cause a segregation of tenants. Muslims tending to prefer towers close to this location, non muslims not.
Perhaps a 2nd one at the other end of the marina is needed to balance things :dunno:

Activity ! What will this turn out to be:
the new Marina mosque...... ?
a multi story car park......... ?
http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x461/Doorneweert/DSC02348.jpg

why is the picture so small?

nice

The pic is small because I made it small (for your convenience !)
This 24 hours later: what will it become ?

http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x461/Doorneweert/DSC02352-1.jpg

A dine in the sky restaurant. Seems that the car park idea did not make any money, so they are trying this.

does anyone know the website for marina mosque or when construction will start?

^^ Joke of the week !!

the signboard was put up within the last 2 months so it means they are going to build, the plot was sitting empty for close 4 years ( as far as I know) with no signboard or activity of any kind, if someone is putting up a signboard in this economy it means they are going to build, besides this is a mosque in an arab country ( place of religion) so iam sure money wont be a problem at all.

If they did build a mosque here, presumably demolishing it in a few years time in favour of supertalls (when commercially viable) would be taboo or at least highly controversial in a muslim nation?

The advertised plot for the Mosque is down the arse end - although a Mosque is needed at the other end as the prayer room on Marina Walk does get a bit crowded.

Not going to happen! If they build the mosque they wont knock it down for sure.

They will start the construction soon.

They will start the construction soon.

Imre is right they will start construction, most likely before the end of 2011 we will see some work happening, people need to remmember they will build this because it is a place of religion and they will not knock it down ever, maybe renovate it in 10-15 years but they wont knock it down, they have done nothing of this sort in UAE or the arab league. the circumstances behind building a mosque is non profit meaning they have no money to lose once it is built

A mosque is being built next to Park Island, is that the one everyone is referring to here?

i think its a great idea.. marina needs a mosque

the mosque looks very nice :)

^^Is this confirmed?

Marina is mostly occupied by foreigners. If that is going to happen I pity the people who bought an apartment in that area. There goes their quiet retreat... instead they'll be startled 5x a day by the loudspeakers.

I agree, this totally blows ...
I dont want to be hearing this at all :bash:

You seem to forget this is a Muslim country.

If that other developer that gives me a head ache ever ends up paying me back the money he really should for not handing over my apartment as agreed in our contract, I'll go straight to this mosque after that to thank god.

I am staying at JBR right now, and we have the prayers out of some loud speakers already (am at Sadaf and can't figure out where it is coming from exactly).
Needless to say that the "noise" of the prayers is much nicer, than the noice coming from the construction sites, the air conditioners, the trafic and, and, and............ Dubai is a very loud city anyway, it is NOT a calm retreat. For this you need to go to the Seychelles.

i saw that in front of jewels the yard in open and i guess it is for the Mosque.

who knows exactly where there other Mosque will be in Marina? somebody says near park island, somebody says near the six towers..

thanks:)

One is next to the Park Island , another is next to the Marina Star , opposite the Jewels but at the another side of the marina.

so total will be 2 quite big mosque ( 1 in front of the jewels opposite side plus on near park island ).
i ve been told that there will be another 1 near the six towers... but i guess it is not true...

Hi Anjam,
For some reason I am unable to open this link, can you elaborate ?

theirs nothing special on the site, just computer generated images of what it will potentially look like

http://i53.tinypic.com/1t7tjp.jpg

Construction will start soon , few portacabins already there , Arabtec security as well :)

On one end of the Marina is the power plant, spewing noxious gases into the air. That's air pollution. On the other end will be a mosque. That's noise pollution.

Think the property prices in the area still have to go a long way down...

what's your problem? A mosque in an islamic country? Money is not everything my friend...

Agreed. Its an Islamic country so there ought to be at least replacement(s) for the mosques that were already existing in the Jumeirah area before the marina was dug out. Ideally, there should be a public prayer hall in every few buildings to add to the pedestrian life a little more and eventually ease traffic congestion in the Marina.

It doesn't matter the noise.. soundproof windows :)

Think the property prices in the area still have to go a long way down...

They may well do - but would have nothing to do with there being a Mosque in the area or not.

If you think you can come to a Muslim country and not hear the Adhan then you are going to be seriously disappointed.

We have a prayer room and loudspeakers here at the Marina Walk and it's nowhere close to annoying loud. Adding to lifestyle and ambience if anything.

Walking distance to a mosque could actually be viewed as a plus to the value of a property.

Walking distance to a mosque could actually be viewed as a plus to the value of a property.

Very true, especially given the large increase in Muslim population living in the Marina.

For 1000 years, they used human voice to shout the 'call for prayer'. The problem came with the switch to modern technology: loudspeakers.
Now I propose to solve it with even newer technology: send a text message to inform the disciples! (or ping, twitter, whatever...) That gives others rest.

That would probably work as everyone in Dubai has at least one cell phone :)

Dubai Marina, mosque plot

http://i53.tinypic.com/2cdd8c8.jpg
Hi Guys,
The building work at the RH side of Park Island ( viewed from the marina side ) seems at the moment to be of a temporary nature. The boring machine pictured has been used to sink equally spaced steel beams at the road side, next to the transformer. These have then had shoring timbers slotted into them to retain the bank adjacent to the road. The area enclosed by the fencing has been graded and levelled at various heights plus threes sumps have been created and the whole area covered with a thin screed of concrete. It seems a lot of work just to create a base for site offices, but the foundation does not appear to be designed for a permanent structure. One of the site workers told me that it is going to be a Majlis. Maybe someone reading this can shed further light on the construction. The contractor's signboard is showing the building permit number, but not the building design.

Board is there also detail on the contractor website.

100 % confirmed, mosque.

Turkish style. Beautiful! :)

And with a huge pool!! ;)

Fantastic, even better view from my lounge! ;) and to hear the adhan.

The bright side is that the building will be completed, unlike some others in the Marina that never started up again after the downturn

Kevan,

Do you know what is planned for the plot next to Timeplace?. Someone said recently that this is where the mosque will be. But judging from this thread and photos I guess they were wrong.

The mosque, we are talking about is next to Park Island, opposite Timeplace. I doubt, they will put another one next to Time Place, so close to this one.

No way, the second mosque is next to the Marina Star plot at the other end of Dubai Marina.

I live very close to the plot and while I welcome the Mosque I think the already congested road that it's being built next to will not be able to cope with the new traffic?

both of them here :)

Yes, it is a little confusing to have one thread for two buildings, which are on top of that at two very different locations. The thread should be: Mosques in the Marina.

OK :)

Great bizzy, thanks, I think this will help to make things clearer.

I think its best we have two threads, one called Marina Mosque beside Park Island and the other called Marina Mosque beside Marina Star, that way when we look at the info and pictures we know what we are looking at.

P.s does anyone know of the status of construction for the Mosque beside Marina Star?

anyone have updates regarding the mosque beside marina star?
