Guarulhos Airport Ecumenical Room (GRU): Prayer Guide Between T2 and T3
Guarulhos Airport ecumenical room is a passenger prayer and reflection space in the public area of São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU). The airport places it in the corridor between Terminals 2 and 3 and lists hours of 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. [1]
Quick answer
GRU’s official services page lists an ecumenical room in the public area, in the corridor between Terminals 2 and 3. [1] It is available to passengers from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. [1] The source does not describe it as Muslim-only or confirm a Qibla marker, wudu facilities, prayer mats, gender arrangements or Friday service, so confirm any faith-specific needs locally.

What the official GRU page confirms
GRU calls this an ecumenical room, a term that indicates a shared interfaith setting rather than a dedicated Muslim-only facility. The published location is in the public area, which means passengers should plan their visit around their airline’s check-in, security and boarding requirements. [1]
The airport’s published hours are 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM. [1] If you travel outside this window, do not assume that the room is available; ask airport staff about current arrangements.
Muslim prayer planning at GRU
The official GRU source does not confirm any Muslim-specific feature, including a Qibla indicator, wudu or ablution facilities, prayer mats, gender arrangements, a dedicated Muslim section or Friday service. [1] Bring only reasonable expectations supported by the official information, and ask staff politely about any current provisions.
Use the Muslim Qibla finder and prayer tools before travel to prepare your prayer timing. When travelling through GRU, allow adequate time to return to check-in, security or your departure gate.
