Salat alshaarie صلاة الشارع (Street prayers)
The Grand Bur Dubai Masijd, Ali Bin Abi Taleb street, Dubai, UAE
This peculiar sight to a westerner is due to an overflow of worshipers from the Friday gathering for pray at the Grand Mosque Masijid. We had been enjoying the sound of call to pray previously and watched as all the streets around us emptied. Following the masses, we came upon this scene. Such a private moment shown so publicly. Below are some more images from around this area of town, particularly from around "The Creek" which if you are travelling through Dubai, I would highly recommend as it shows just how this mega world city started.
