The Greek temple. It is convenient to get from the ENERGY metro station by taxi or on foot for 30-35 minutes, right behind the Ikea shopping center. It is surrounded by temples of different faiths.
It is very reminiscent of a Catholic church with its architecture and interior decoration. The icons are close to our traditional ones. If you need to put a candle: put a donation and at the end of the temple behind the benches in a small room (in the vestibule) there is a candelabrum and candles next to it. But we still don't understand why all the candles are placed in one place...
It is a very beautiful temple. But it is very unusual for traditional Russian Orthodox culture.
I was in it on Easter 5/05/24.
On the next holiday I will go to the Church of the Apostle Philip (Sharjah).
Come into the temple, you can sit in the cool and think about the good things.
The temple is located in a remote place, quite difficult to access if you get to the car. I think the plus in this situation is that there are 7 more temples of different denominations of different religions
The temple itself was built rather in the Catholic tradition, but unlike similar temples it has an amazing slightly non-traditional painting. There are quite a lot of different images in the temple, traditional and not quite, since they are subscribed to the vyazi, some of them I could not recognize
Unfortunately, the temple is not very popular
It is so nice that there is an Orthodox church in the UAE, especially nice that at Easter it was a Mecca for Russian tourists. And in general, a beautiful place!

The Orthodox Church in Dubai is convenient to visit in a Muslim country.We were at the service on Good Friday.It is interesting to stand at the service learning prayers by ear.

Impressive! 🙌🏻
It was more colorful in the evening with lighting, because the complex consists of seven temples of seven religions. 🌟
