A recently constructed Hindu temple is being thrown open in Dubai.

Local media reported that Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, who is minister of tolerance and coexistence and Indian Ambassador to the UAE Sunjay Sudhir will be the guest of honour.
It is said to be UAE’s first community-driven temple.

The building is located in Jebel Ali’s ‘Worship Village’ and is housed amidst the Guru Nanak Darbar Gurudwara and a number of churches.

Temple authorities said in a statement that the Hindu Temple Dubai is a space informed by tradition, nurtured by faith and crafted for the future.

The temple website encourages visitors to pre-book slots. Visitors and devotees can book half-an-hour slots after providing their name, mobile number, email ID and the number of visitors. A maximum of four visitors are allowed in a group.
