The Mosque itself is - sorry if this may sound impropriete - someway cool. It is build in a surprising clear style, mainly in white. So it is worth to skip your short trousers into a jeans or so...

That was quite impressed to visit this mosque. Not because of an specific architecture but because it is the oldest mosque of Georgetown. It just celebrated 200 years in 2021. It's very beautiful from inside and outside. I was lucky enough to have Jummah prayer there. When I was there , it was at 2 pm, I would recommend to get there at least 30 minutes earlier, so that you can get a space. It fills up very quickly. Here, women have a separate building, so they can join Jummah prayer without any challenges.
