A place of prayer and, sometimes, community events primarily for the Shia Imami Ismaili Moslem Community. Events are managed with exceptional discipline and very high levels of COVID-19 related precautions. Attendance, these days (August 2021), is purely by prior registration on a specially-developed app. And a fully-vaccinated status is mandatory. Social distancing is in place and is rather effectively managed. All areas of the premises are designed to cater to accessibility needs.

Modernity meets history. A peaceful place. Sit outside in the courtyard and listen to the birds singing.

Beautiful, peaceful, and welcoming place for all!

A must see. This beautiful building is so much more than just that. It’s a symbol of pluralism and diversity. Must go check it out at night the lighting is just amazing, especially in the fountain area.

Very beautiful architecture, peaceful and most amazing place.

Beautiful architecture that draws inspiration from previous Muslim civilizations from different time periods. Mainly a community centre but does offer tours if requested in advance. Truly a gem of its kind.

State of art Architect(Islamic historic design), Open in day before 5 P.M Evening for FREE guided tour.

Like everyone commented on its Architecture, Structure and peace. It really is very beautiful and looks really peaceful. Also i have seen many times people who belong to their caste they dress up really well, they still carry their culture and tradition. Downfall, outer caste are not welcomed.

Incredible architecture! This place is stunning. Its small on the outside but seems endless on the inside. They really put lots of details into all of the tile, wood, and stone. Make sure you visit the garden across the road as well its peaceful and serene. See if you can come at a time that they are hosting tours.

Peace of Mind. Spiritually uplifting place of worship. Very well maintained. Keep it up guys. Very good Neighborhood. Enough parking. People you meet always have smile. More than 10 stars for cleanliness. If not one the best it is the best place I have been. Anything which touches your soul is mind blowing place. More important it’s place of PEACE, LOVE.

Learn about the Ismaili Muslims and how they contribute to society. This is a place of worship as well as a museum. It also has a beautiful peaceful courtyards.

True symbol of pluralism and diversity which reflect real meaning of Peace (Islam), get appointment and schedule your tour of this building. simply amazing. thanks to UAE and thanks to the management of this building to given us opportunity to see true colours of peace in this geographic location.

Amazing place to be in every inch has its element of beauty and you can see the amazing islamic architecture in its details. great place to sit and think and reflect very quite and safe

Modernity is the intelligent use of our past!!Awe !! Beyond Imagination !! Ancient Egyptian Architecture of Fatimid Caliphs revived. Lot of meaningful and purposeful monument.Divine serenity in the midst of concrete jungle of skyscrapers. Reminds us to be down to earth and remember and be proud of our past glory rather than mimicking west.

Nice and Beautiful Islamic structure

The Centre houses the Aga Khan Early Learning Centre - a truly unique nursery. Not only is the facility state-of-the-art and spacious, the staff is extremely competent too. The individual attention to each child and their development, as well as the focus on all aspects of learning and development make this nursery leap years ahead of others in the UAE.

Amazing place to visit!! Love the architecture. Everything is so well thought out and built to perfection!! Very serene place. A Must visit!!

The Ismaili Centre in Dubai is a true architectural gem inspired by Fatimid Egypt. The gardens are definitely the highlight- well worth booking in a tour.

This centre have unique architect structure. Peace full place and a beautiful garden in front of Ismaili Centre Dubai.

It showcases the pure essence of ismaili imamat..... Magnificent architecture.... One can gain inner peace anytime a must visit when in Dubai....

The site of the Ismaili Centre, Dubai was a gift of the Ruling Family of Dubai presented by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, to His Highness the Aga Khan on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee of his accession to the Imamat in 1982.Over the subsequent quarter century, the Ismaili Muslim community in Dubai grew and evolved together with the city itself. As the metropolis expanded, the site in Oud Metha saw its residential and commercial neighbourhood gradually enriched by the establishment of cultural and social facilities. In parallel, the community and the Aga Khan Development Network increased their engagement with philanthropic, academic, humanitarian and development organisations in Dubai and the wider region.It soon became clear that a complex around which to centre these activities could contribute also to its immediate surroundings. The Ismaili Centre, Dubai was conceived in an effort to complement evolutions in technology and urban development with a long-established endeavour to revitalise the traditions of architecture, craftsmanship and landscape design in the Islamic world.His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum shares with Mawlana Hazar Imam, a vision for the future in keeping with Islamic traditions of search for knowledge and contributing to the betterment of humanity. It is in this shared spirit that the construction and development of the Centre advanced. The foundation stone was laid on 13 December 2003, and the Centre was opened on 27 March 2008 by Mawlana Hazar Imam in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum and His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan – senior members of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates.

Blending seamlessly various aspects of Islamic architecture, Ismaili Centre Dubai is a great example of how preservation of heritage within the realm of urbanization helps portray our true identity to the world.

It was a very big super experience.. I liked it so much. Very nice place.. Beautiffulllll.. Everyone should go there

2 stars for architecture.A place of people who worship Mr. Hussein. Who live in Paris. Shia twelvers are the part of this ismaili seveners, but ismailis became minority now. Before they were the biggest Shia group.

Beautiful architecture and great assistance. Teaches a lot about Muslim heritage and traditional craftsmanship.

Ismaili park is exact opposite of the ismaili centre...so quite peaceful and so pretty place however its small but more peaceful place....

Nice place but not much to see or do there. Its mostly for official activity such as lecture
