Hindu Temple Dubai (Jebel Ali)

Hindu Temple Dubai stands in Jebel Ali Village, in the city's Worship Village beside Guru Nanak Darbar and several churches. It opened to the public on 5 October 2022. The National reported the inauguration and described a white temple that mixes Indian carving with Arabic mashrabiya screens, brass kalashas on the domes, and marble deities brought from India.

Shiva is the main deity. Wikipedia and contemporary reporting list many other shrines under the same roof, including Ganesh, Krishna, Rama, Venkateshwara, Durga, Murugan, Hanuman and Ayyappan, along with the Guru Granth Sahib. From 3 January 2024, darshan and puja that once took place at the Bur Dubai Shiva Mandir moved here. Gulf News and The National covered that shift. The separate Shri Krishna Temple (Shrinathji Haveli) stayed in Bur Dubai.

Visitor hours have changed since opening. Listings commonly give about 6:00 am to 8:30 pm daily, while The National reported 6:30 am to 8:30 pm at the 2022 launch. Online booking or queue systems have been used at busy times via hindutempledubai.com. Confirm current darshan slots, festival closures and any booking rules on that site or by phone before you go.

Dress modestly, cover shoulders and knees, and remove footwear before the prayer halls. The temple welcomes visitors of all backgrounds who respect the space. Basement parking is limited. The National advised metro riders to alight at Energy or Ibn Battuta on the Red Line, then continue by bus F44 or taxi into Jebel Ali Village.
