With a reputation as
one of Malaysia's finest mosques, this
magnificent mosque took eight years and
almost RM400,000 to complete. Officially opened by the
late Sultan Ibrahim in 1890, it is a famous
landmark of Johore today. One of its main
attractions here is the blend of traditional
Islamic and classical Italian design whereby the
minarets look like British clock towers.
Located on top of a
hill, the scenic view of the Tebrau Straits
(Straits of Johor) can
be seen from here. Walking distance from the
mosque is the famous Johor Zoo. Tourists are
drawn to this famous Johor mosque because it offers a panoramic view of the Straits of Johore.
