Create an itinerary including National Mosque (Masjid Negara)
Admire the artistry and spirituality of National Mosque (Masjid Negara), a center of Islamic life in the country. Completed in 1965, the mosque's 73 m (240 ft) minaret and 16-point star roof display modern and dynamic design principles, creating a striking focal point among well-maintained, sprawling gardens. With a capacity of 15,000 people, the scale of the interior impresses, and the simplicity of the design helps to create a calm, soothing atmosphere. Onsite volunteers can provide information and help answer any questions. Appropriate attire is required, but you can borrow it at the entrance if necessary. Note that the mosque welcomes visitors of all nations and faiths, but visiting times for non-Muslims are specific, so check the website to confirm before you go.

  • Peaceful, Tranquil. Calm. Soothing. This place is calm and soothing. A big mosque with parks and facilities for people to spend some time contemplating. They have an entrance dedicated to foreigners, where they will give you a robe to adorn while visiting the mosque if you are dressed inappropriately. The center of the mosque is decorated with delicately carved shapes of Islamic arts.
  • Despite its reputation and external beauty, Loved the rich history and culture of the mosque, go early if you want great photos ,its empty in the morning around 9am, you can sit and pray too and feel uplifted no matter what’s your religion is. An impressive mosque well located in the city. It deserve a visit! It also has a wonderful view
