Dubai’s Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) has officially opened the newly constructed Zamzam Mosque in the Al Barsha South 2 district, marking a significant addition to the city’s religious infrastructure. The project was made possible through a generous donation from the Abdul Wahed Al Rostamani Group and his grandchildren.
The contemporary Islamic architectural design accommodates approximately 850 worshippers simultaneously, with dedicated spaces for 700 men and 150 women. The mosque serves not only the immediate Al Barsha South community but also residents from surrounding neighborhoods.
Architectural features include a main prayer hall, separate women’s prayer area, traditional minaret, arcade, and residential quarters for the Imam and Muezzin. The facility has been designed with accessibility as a priority, featuring specialized access points for People of Determination and elderly worshippers, along with modern ablution facilities and ample parking space.
Incorporating sustainable technology, the building utilizes energy-efficient lighting systems and modern climate control solutions aligned with Dubai’s environmental sustainability objectives. Advanced acoustic systems ensure optimal sound quality throughout the prayer spaces.
This inauguration continues Dubai’s pattern of religious infrastructure development, following recent openings of multiple mosques across the emirate designed to accommodate growing community needs.
