Kota Kinabalu City Mosque
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.

Beautiful mosque! The staff at the entrance is friendly too. Unfortunately, we are unable to visit as it is closed at 5pm. We were offered garden tour at 5 ringgit Tourist worthy: 4/5 Price: 4/5

Known as ‘A floating mosque’. It is a second main mosque and famous in Kota Kinabalu after State Mosque in Sembulan. The architectural design is based on the Nabawi Mosque, the second holiest site in Islam, in Medina, Saudi Arabia.The dome is blue and gold, inspired by similar Arabic architecture.

One of the nice mosque I ever went. Must buy ticket then can enjoy the best photo spots.
-
Quite a beautiful mosque. Unfortunately there's water leakage from the ceiling inside the prayer section. Overall quite an impressive architecture design. With the moat style artificial pond giving the mosque floating illusion.
-
The scenery is nice but the guard is very rude. As soon as we entered the place, the guard kinda yelled at us to let us know that female is not allowed to enter. Wouldn't recommend to come here as a tourist.
