#MOSQUES IN THE MARINA - Page 4

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

metroreporter · May 15th, 2011, 01:44 AM

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.

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.

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

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.

Imre · August 24th, 2011, 09:16 AM

Board is there also detail on the contractor website.
