#1 of 14 in Historic Sites in Sabah

#Religious Site, #Tourist Spot

Imposing and lavish Kota Kinabalu City Mosque seems to float on a manmade lagoon. The design takes inspiration from Nabawi Mosque, the second holiest site in Islam, with one blue and gold dome and four minarets. Take a guided tour of the building to learn more about the history and architecture of the mosque, and about Islam in general. Enjoy a pedal boat ride on the lagoon for a good view of the building from the outside. If you intend on entering the mosque, dress respectfully in clothing that covers your legs, arms, and shoulders. Respect the Islamic tradition by removing your shoes at the entrance.

The mosque itself is impressive, but the pond surrounding it is full of raw sewage and smells revolting. The place needs a serious clean-up. more »

코타스윗을 통해 예약을 했고 한국인가이드와 밴으로 움직여서 자세한 설명을 들을 수 있었다. 이 곳 사람들에게는 종교적으로 소중한 장소인만큼 안으로 들어간다면 조용히 관람해 주어야 한다. 밖에 있는 포토존에서 사진을 찍을 수 있다. more »

Kota suites booked through, and by moving to a detailed description of the Korean Guide and could hear van. This is where the people religiously as a precious place if quietly eclectic. You can take a picture from the photo spot outside.

初めてのイスラム建築物でした。見た目は確かに美しいですが、少し期待過剰だったかもしれません…。夫は長ズボンを履いていたため、貸衣装は必要ありませんでしが、女性は足を隠していても貸衣装が必要でした。中にいた関係者？の方もとてもフレンドリーで、写真撮影してくれました。写真映えするところに誘導してくれるなど、観光客にも慣れてます。が、中の滞在時間は正直5分くらいだったかも…。帰りはモスクの向かい側に渡... more »

Was the first Islamic buildings. Look is certainly lovely, little expectation too much may have been. He long wore pants for the costumer does not need nice, covers her feet she had to be a costumer. The officials were in? The staff very friendly and the photo was taken. Will induce a photogenic place, tourists are familiar with. Everything in time was honest about 5 minutes. Riding a bus just came back over to the opposite side of the mosque and waited a little bit on the road in the downtown area, so, I went back. 1 bring downtown in the ringgit, so quite economical!

Also known as "Masjid Terapung"(floating mosque) because of the illusion of the mosque floating on top of water when high tide comes in. The beautiful design of the masjid is worth to see during sun rise and sun set. Located at the gulf of Likas. There are shops and stall near by and an atm machine near the entrance. The food is delicious with reasonable price. Tourist are allowed to enter (except during prayers) for a tour but must wear proper attire. Tourist can rent muslim & muslimah fashion attire at the tourist help desk near the main gate.
