This billboard appeared a few days ago along the road as I exit the airport parking. I can have my own Mosque erected for as little as $7500. Of course, being in a 2 bedroom high rise apartment, I'm probably not going to be able to come up with the necessary space. However, Downtown Burj Dubai is a bit underserved in the Mosque department--as yet, none has been constructed. We only have prayer rooms at the mall and a make-shift mosque for the workers just outside my window--but no speaker system.
I thought it curious that the advertisement is in English, so it's obviously aimed at ex-pats like myself. It would be pretty cool to get on the speaker system 5 times a day, starting just before dawn and read the Holy Qoran calling my neighbors to prayer, or I could read them the baseball and football scores from last nights action. Or play some country music, which is sorely lacking here.
