Meta review

The mosque is consistently described as aesthetically very pleasant with a nice setting around the lagoon. Quite a few disappointed tourists that could not fit the limited guided-visit hours into their schedule but those who could did enjoy the short intro to the pillars of Islam.

Environmental & Social

We deem this activity environmentally neutral and slightly educational

Conclusion

Even if you cannot catch one of the guided tours, the mosque is worth checking out from outside if you happen to be in Sharjah. One of the nicest buildings in the city.
