Penang Floating Mosque
Penang Floating Mosque is unlike any other mosques because it was built on piling and tilts above the sea. Located in Tanjung Bungah near George Town, Penang, this over-water mosque will appear as if it is floating on sea water at high tide.
The beautiful mosque features a mixture of Middle Eastern and local architecture. It can accommodate up to 1,500 worshippers at one time. The mosque is built with a seven-storey high towering minaret that is used for announcing calls to prayer at different times of the day.
Those who are interested in traditional and ethnic-coloured construction, especially of places of worship, should not miss this place. Book your stay at Lexis Suites Penang now so you can experience for yourself the mystifying lineaments of this 15-Million ringgit monument.
