Kota Kinabalu City Mosque, Kota Kinabalu

3.8

#1 of 11 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.

I studied in UMS before and I went to this mosque a lot. It is very comfortable and the view around the mosque is also very beautiful, hence it became tourist's attraction. But I do hope that the management take care of the upper level's stair since some of them are littered with lizard's droppings.

A beautiful mosque that's peaceful and the people who run it are friendly, compassionate and gentle people. You feel the calm in the temple. It has the happiness and positivity of kids laughing and talking and then the people who are intimately praying. It was a great experience and a wonderful wonderful place. It is an incredibly well organized and spiritual place.
