Alaqroubi Mosque in Sharjah
Mosque was built more than 100 years ago by an Emirati pearl diver living in Al Khan, a fishing village in the south of the emirate.
Rashid Alaqroubi built the house of worship, which later became known as Al Aqroubi Mosque, in 1904, before the discovery of oil and a long time before the formation of the UAE. He wanted a place in which he and his colleagues could pray whenever they returned from the sea.
The mosque, perched on the edge of Al Khan shore, is about 80 metres wide – one of the smallest in the country.;
