Masjid Omar 'Ali Saifuddien

#1月好去地方2025 The largest mosque in Brunei, although Brunei is not very big. But this country has great wealth, so this mosque is a magnificent palace. Non-Muslims are allowed to visit during opening hours, but in reality they can only step about three steps into the door, so they leave within five minutes. Also, taking photos is not allowed in the lobby. So we visited the exterior of the mosque outside. It was built in 1958 on an artificial lake on the banks of the Brunei River and was named after the 28th Sultan, Omar Ali Saifuddien, the father of the current Sultan. The entire mosque is rich in Islamic colors, with fountains and gardens competing with each other, and the dome illuminated by real gold, with a height of 52 meters, overlooking the entire BSB city. Because it is the symbol of Brunei, no building in the city can be taller than it. Therefore, he can be seen in many places in the city. Therefore, those who want to visit had better pay attention to the time. The so-called closed here does not mean that only the hall is not open to the public, but the entire mosque is not open to the public. If you do not visit within the specified time, you will be asked to leave at any time. When you come to a Muslim country, you still have to respect the local religion.
