MARINA MOSQUE

[margaretzimmerman]

Let us pray that the Proposed Marina Mosque is in the MST site with beautiful gardens and palms around it....what a site and what a presence it would make! INSHA ALLAH.

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?

[arfie]

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.

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...

[Dubai_Steve]

So maybe at Timeplace. :dunno:

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:

[thedubailife]

[nexlite]
