Architecture

The mosque is inspired by Persian architecture and is notable for its colorful exterior and interior. It features a façade and onion dome marked with extensive Persian faience tilework, and an azure blue background featured in floral patterns.[5] Islamic calligraphy from the Quran is inscribed in rosettes, amidst swirls in colors of green, yellow, red and white. The mosque has its origins among the city's Iranian community.[5]

Lonely Planet describes it as a "simple yet striking mosque in the textile area of Bur Dubai Souq" and is notable for its "sensuous, bulbous domes and gently tapering minaret."[6]

There is another Iranian Mosque in Satwa which is also a Shia mosque inspired by similar elements.[5]
