🕌 A Slice of Timeless Kedah — Alor Setar Square & Zahir Mosque 🇲🇾✨

#summervacay If you're ever in northern Malaysia, don't skip Alor Setar Square, where history, architecture, and culture collide. Just steps away, the iconic Zahir Mosque (Masjid Zahir) stands as one of the most beautiful and oldest mosques in the country — and it's absolutely picture-perfect 📸🌤️ 🏛️ Alor Setar Square (Dataran Alor Setar) Framed by colonial-era buildings, modern towers, and Kedah’s own spirit of pride, the square is perfect for a casual stroll or to snap shots of local life. Don’t miss the grand archway and the famous clock tower 🕰️ 🕌 Zahir Mosque Just next door, this stunning black-domed mosque is a national icon. Built in 1912, it’s not only an architectural gem — it's a spiritual centerpiece for locals. The symmetry, the details, the serenity... you’ll feel it all ✨ 🛍️ Grab a kopi from a nearby café and enjoy the vibe — it's peaceful, slow, and so Malaysia. #alorsetar #zahirmosque #masjidzahir #malaysiahiddengems #kedahtravel #historicmosques #travelmalaysia #islamicarchitecture #alorsetarsquare
