Trip to Jumeirah Mosque
by Nicky Attiwell
On Thursday 24th October, the Trip Circle had a fantastic trip to Jumeirah Mosque and the Once Upon a Time Museum.
It was a very enlightening visit and Latifa was a fantastic envoy for the Mosque. If you have never been it a great insight into Islam and the Muslim religion.
The Museum had some great artefacts and photos of how Dubai has evolved over the decades.
More trips to be planned in the coming months.
