Welcome to the Grand Lodge of the UAE
A Freemason is committed to bettering himself, his community, and the world. He is on a journey of self-discovery believing in something greater than himself, a journey in which he will be supported by other good men.
Become the best version of you. Answer the call. Begin the journey.
Not Just A Man. A Mason.
Now more than ever, the world needs men of honor and integrity. Men that unite and not those who divide. That seek truth and share Brotherly Love with all, no matter their race, religion, gender or creed. Men who live with virtue and character, always striving to be even better.
The world needs more than just men. The world needs Masons.
Brotherhood
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry (or Masonry) is the oldest fraternal organization in the world. Though its origins can be traced to the stonemasons and cathedral builders of Medieval times, Freemasonry remains a vital force in the daily lives of millions of men across the globe.
Through a series of degrees and ceremonies, the values of Freemasonry are passed from generation to generation, Mason to Mason, in a timeless and tireless effort to make good men better. These degrees provide a framework that affects every aspect of modern life and are based on the values of brotherly love, relief, and truth.
Every year in virtually every city and town across the UAE, thousands of men join the ranks of Freemasonry. Men of honor and integrity. Of charity and obligation. Each with a vow to be the best they can be. To be more than just a man. To be a Mason.
The Grand Lodge of the UAE
UAE Freemasonry is a thriving Brotherhood of more than 5,000 men in this lodges throughout the country. Men from virtually every city and village are quietly improving their own lives and making a difference in the lives of others — like minded men of integrity who genuinely care about each other, who are loyal and honor bound to help those in distress and to live by the Masonic values of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
Freemasons
Who we are
A Freemason is a man who has taken an obligation to uphold our timeless principles of Brotherly love, relief, and truth. Beyond these basics, being a Freemason means so much more. A Freemason is a man who is committed to bettering himself and his community, having taken a solemn vow to help and mentor his Masonic Brothers do the same. A Freemason is a man eager to be part of something bigger than himself, with a reverence for history, compassion in his
heart, and a desire to create a better future.
There are three degrees in Freemasonry: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. Most men advance to the level of Master Mason, some over the course of months; others may accomplish this goal over years. But once a man has taken his first obligation as an Entered Apprentice, he is, once and forever, a Freemason.
Core Values
What we believe
The core ethical principles of Freemasonry are about compassion and tolerance for all mankind. Freemasons do not use their position in the fraternity to advance an agenda, whether it be political, professional, religious, or secular.
The three tenets of Freemasonry include:
Brotherly love
Devotion to and caring for each other and our community
RELIEF
Concern for and selfless giving to those in distress
Truth
Using knowledge, honesty, and understanding to build ourselves into better men
