Jumeirah Mosque, the only mosque that visitors are allowed to enter. Actually there are many mosques along Jumeirah Road with almost similar design to this one, but they are not famous since they are not open to public. This is the one that usually occurs on photos, in the North part of Jumeirah Road.
