This Abu Dhabi Mosque Looks Just Like Jerusalem’s Dome Of The Rock

Avatar

A Dubai photographer stumbled on a mosque in Abu Dhabi that looks just like Jerusalem’s Dome of the Rock, within the Al-Aqsa Compound.

The Bani Hashim mosque is located in RabdanAl Maqta’, Abu Dhabi. It features a Gold Dome and a blue and white facade which is strikingly similar to the Dome of the Rock which is located in Jerusalem’s Old City, an Islamic shrine located on the Temple Mount.

Dubai-based photographer Alphaspotting shared these incredible images of the Abu Dhabi mosque

Noting that it looks just like the Jerusalem heritage site

It was actually built in a replica of the Jerusalem structure and has drawn Palestinian worshippers in the Capital for many years as it reminds them of home
