He regularly visited the Temple for two years while working in Dubai. A real island of Orthodoxy, headed by Fr. Alexander. After the service, there was always a common meal of parishioners and priests, where you could not only refresh yourself (most of the people came from Dubai), but also socialize. In fact, we are very lucky that the Benefactors built this Temple,

A beautiful Temple. If you are there, ask where the rest of the churches are - go to the Armenian one - there is a magnificent forging, rate it. There's a whole area of Orthodox churches there. There are also Coptic Egyptian, Syrian, Georgian, and it's very interesting, you can go everywhere to chat with people.

I was at an Easter night service once. I was pleased that most of them came to pray at the temple, and not only to consecrate cakes and pasques. The temple is bright, neat and well-groomed. The fathers are good. There are church shops and you can borrow a handkerchief if you don't have one of your own. There were quite a few representatives of the Islamic world at the service, and I was pleased with how respectfully and respectfully everything went on the bright Easter holiday.

A beautiful Orthodox church consecrated in honor of the Apostle Jesus Christ Philip. The temple is very bright with gold trim, nothing superfluous, a pleasant atmosphere at the service. The rector, Father Alexander, is a wonderful, educated, kind person, very pleasant in communication, loving and knowledgeable in his work. There is a Russian cultural center near the temple. The church has a wonderful choir and a professional regent. If you come to Sharjah on vacation, be sure to visit this temple. Services run on Friday and Sunday from 10 to 11:30 and Saturday from 17:00 to 18:20.

A very beautiful and cozy church. It is especially comfortable with children. There is a place for small children so that the parishioners are not disturbed. Great choir.
It was a joy to join the service in an Islamic country.

The church is conveniently located, they serve 2 times a week, the Liturgy is at 10.00, it's cool inside, with children all standing on the gallery above, it's convenient. A common confession before Communion. I liked the abbot's sermons. It is very pleasant to visit such an oasis of Russian culture in the heart of an Arab country.

A very bright, beautiful temple. Pleasant atmosphere, clean. A good choir. It was very pleasant to attend the service, it's even a pity that services don't take place every day.

A very pleasant temple. Beautiful, cozy. Services are held on Saturdays, and there is a general confession before communion. Great support for the Orthodox. Such a temple in Dubai would also help the Orthodox.

The Temple is of extraordinary beauty. Airy, soulful. Lots of icons . A conversation with Father Alexander brings peace to the soul. All Orthodox should definitely visit.

We were in the temple on the Patronal feast. A beautiful bright temple. The service was conducted by Theophylact, Archbishop of Pyatigorsk and Circassian. A lot of parishioners. They come from other emirates (Ras al Khaimah). There are several Christian churches of other denominations around. The church is conveniently located. 20-30 minutes walk from the main city hotels.

Good day to all🙏 Rested in Sharjah at the end of April beginning of May. I knew about this temple (because I was already there) and went to the service on April 30. It was the feast of the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women. I really like this church, there is such peace there, peace and joy at the same time that there is such a corner in a Muslim country where you can come and pray. I didn't calculate a little with money, I wanted to write a note about health, because we were flying back to Russia in 5 days. And the woman who sells candles, her name is NADEZHDA, took a note from me for free, for which I am very grateful to her. I give her a huge hello and a low bow. I, too, when I flew back home, in my temple, wrote a health note about her. Very warm and pleasant memories remained about the rest. We will definitely return there again....God willing! 🙏🙏🙏

It is the only Orthodox church in the Emirates. Light, golden (maybe that's why everything glitters). You can go up to the second floor and watch the service and pray from there. A lot of "nominal" icons are large. Solid . Impressive.

Stay in Dubai, stop by Sharjah, where the first Russian Orthodox church on the Arabian Peninsula stands. Its blue domes and golden crosses open on the way from Dubai. Snow-white from the outside and the same airy light inside.

A very beautiful church, sincere, sympathetic parishioners. I was at the liturgy one Sunday.
Thank you that even in a Muslim country there is a church where you can pray together!
