The first mosque in National Industries Park (NIP) will open its doors to worshippers before the holy month of Ramadan next year.
Room for 2,000 Worshippers
The mosque will accommodate more than 2,000 worshippers, 1,000 inside and another 1,000 outside, serving workers and residents of the area and its surroundings.
Built by Danube Group, the project's groundbreaking was held on Tuesday by senior officials of Danube Group, National Industries Park and the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (Awqaf). Construction is under way, with completion expected within the next year. It is the second mosque Danube Group has built in Dubai, following one in Dubai Studio City.
