Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue

Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue is the Jewish house of worship at the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. It forms one of three distinct sacred buildings alongside Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque and St. Francis Church. The Abrahamic Family House was inaugurated on 16 February 2023 as a centre for the practice of faith, learning and dialogue, with public visitor programmes announced from 1 March that year.

Abu Dhabi’s official account states that the three worship buildings were designed by Sir David Adjaye and Adjaye Associates with equal external dimensions, each taking the form of a cube approximately 30 metres in width, depth and height. Their orientations and internal architectural languages differ according to religious practice; official Abu Dhabi material notes that the synagogue is oriented toward Jerusalem.

The synagogue provides a dedicated setting for Jewish prayer, scripture reading and religious services within a nationally significant interfaith complex. Its importance is institutional and religious rather than based on a miracle, apparition or healing tradition. The wider Abrahamic Family House draws inspiration from the 2019 Document on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi.

When checked on 27 September 2026, the official Abrahamic Family House website announced a temporary closure, so visitors should confirm reopening before travel.
