Gurudwara Guru Nanak Darbar Uae - Dubai

It is a religious and sacred place. It is a Sikh Temple (Gurudwara). All people are welcomed here irrespective of their caste, race, gender or religion. After praying, all people sit together on the floor and eat. This is called 'langar '. It emphasizes the fact that all humans are equal and that irrespective of status, all people eat together on one platform. I am proud to be a Sikh and serve the community. Our gods have taught us to be just and righteous in all ways possible.

Sikh temple opened in 2012, with a pool at the front, a grand prayer hall vegetarian meals. India and the UAE have generally enjoyed cordial relations, partly due to their shared history with the British presence in Asia, and partly due to the pre-colonial history of trade, commerce and settlement between the two nations. Dubai is an Oasis of religious tolerance. Sikhs living in UAE had no common place to gather to worship or celebrate religious festivals or weddings. In Dubai, the Bur Dubai temple and private homes being used for mass gatherings were bursting, prompting community leaders to look into the possibility of building a larger space for worship of the Guru Granth Sahib. They grew from five families, to 10 families to 50 families and it became hard for them to ask the hostess to make 400 chapattis in a day. So they decided that whoever comes brings 10 chapattis, and the hostess would make the vegetables and the dal. Though temporary Gurudwaras had come and gone, the community needed a permanent place of worship. The very thought of building a permanent and official Gurdwara in the heart of an Islamic state was considered nothing short of an Arabian mirage. The push for an official Gurudwara began about 27 years ago. The proposals kept getting knocked back but they did not give up. It was a pleasant and joyous surprise when consent was received from the Council of Imams. To add to the joy and sense of well-being, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makhtoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE, bestowed a piece of land free of charge, for the Sikhs to build their Gurdwara.

Firstly blessed that God had invited me to his own home And I really feel so so good I'm so happy and pure from heart it feels too good entering in gurdwara is like coming to place where you will find no stress no depression only happiness in that holy place. I feel lucky to be there. I can't even Express my feelings for being there Its just like I'm at my own home.

Beautiful maintained peaceful place we visited today afternoon, had Langar too. Had a great experience. Well organised by the community members. Must visit.

Amazing place to visit for peace in Dubai. Really felt very calm and compose. A good place to recharge yourself. Langar is obviously free and you can also offer your sewa. Very neat and hygiene place, Not crowded at all you can just sit and mediate peacefully nobody will disturb you. Good management as found in every Gurdwara around the globe. You can reach there by taking metro from red line and then change the Metro from Jebel Ali metro station. To Ibn battuta Metro station from there u can take a bus No. F44 just outside the Metro station, cab is also easily available. Get down at the second bus stop and take a right there will be churches, mandir and gurdwara all on the left side. Hope this is helpful to the newcomers
