Stunning modern mosque

Much quieter than the City (floating) Mosque in KK but equally as impressive in its own way. Lovely to sketch! Very little shade outside so as well as being respectful you will save yourself from burning in the relentless tropical sun by covering up properly...More

Captivating Architecture

This is a big, bold and beautiful mosque, with its tall turrets and golden orbs sitting atop stout pillars, truly a marvel in architecture and design. From the outside, the interiors seem cool and the marble fixtures look great. Admission is free, and parking space...More

Sabah State Mosque

This is Sabah state mosque but not as beauty as the one located at Tanjung Lipat. Worth to take some photo as it is located at city center.

Interesting

With all respect to all our Muslim Brothers, we were just amazed by the structure. We are Christian believers and we do respect their beliefs.

Beautiful building

We didn't go inside but stopped off on our way back from Sabah museum (it's about 10 mins away by foot). Very impressive building!

Carol W

We are planning to go on Friday afternoon as that is the only time we have in KK. The web site is a bit misleading- it says avoid visiting on a Friday, but then gives the shorter visiting hours of 14.00 to 17.00. Can anyone advise please? Many Thanks

Answer

Friday was a prayer day and we were not allowed into the Mosque.

Is the Sabah State Mosque walking distance from Tanjung Aru beach or the North Borneo Railway station?

February 22, 2015|

Answer

It is walking distance from Tanjung Aru but pavements aren’t great and disappear all together in places -it’s probably much easier to take a Grab (download the App) and only about RM 6-7
