Miral has announced that its new mosque at Yas Bay is open to worshippers. The mosque was developed in collaboration with the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, and can accommodate 800 worshipers within two separate prayer halls designed for males and females.

Inspired by modern Islamic art, the Yas Masjid features an architecturally unique design within ‘The Residences’ located at one of the world’s fastest growing leisure and entertainment destinations, a statement from Miral explained.

It replaces the traditional dome with horizontal Mashribiya panels, which extend across the building to provide a striking and dynamic impression for visitors, the statement said.

Miral said the opening is a step towards achieving its promise for Yas Bay: creating a unique contemporary community within an unparalleled waterside for residents and visitors alike.
