Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque – The Crown Jewel of Johor ✨🕌

Overlooking the Straits of Johor, the Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque is one of Malaysia’s most beautiful and historically significant mosques. Built between 1892 and 1900 during the reign of Sultan Abu Bakar, it showcases a unique blend of Victorian and Moorish architecture, with elegant minarets resembling British clock towers. As the state mosque of Johor, it can accommodate up to 2,000 worshippers and remains a symbol of faith, culture, and royal legacy. Its elevated location not only offers a place of spiritual serenity but also provides visitors with breathtaking panoramic views of Johor Bahru and beyond. 🌅 A visit to Johor is never complete without experiencing the timeless beauty of this iconic mosque. 🌟 #holidayitinerary #travel #malaysia
