[2025 Mukim Gadong B Attraction] Travel Guide for Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque (Updated May)

Brunei Darussalam 'The Abode of Peace' 🇧🇳 Introducing the three places we visited this time: 'Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque' (commonly known as the New Mosque 🕌) 'Istana Nurul Iman' (the palace where the king resides 👑) 'Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque' (commonly known as the Old Mosque 🕌) They say there's hardly any tax?! Blessed with natural resources like oil and natural gas, it's also known as a wealthy country!!! The atmosphere of the city during the day and at night is quite different, and it's a country where you can spend a leisurely time forgetting about the time.

#summerdestinations This is also my unforgettable moment summer trip in Brunei. Bandar Seri Begawan has its own uniqueness in terms of surprising the tourist. First thing you will be surprised is in fact they almost have NO public transport in the city. Everyone has their own cat to o around the city. This one that makes me frustrated as a tourist 😆 what a thrill hahaha Secondly, you can absolutely use Singapore Dollars as well for any transaction in the country as they have signed a memorandum for both country to use SGD currency in the country that is legal. Then, the food taste is Malay food so if you have been to Malaysia, you have no worries about it Visit Brunei is FUN! 🤩 #brunei #bandarseribegawan #bruneidarussalam

Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque is a mosque in Kampong Kiarong of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. It is named after Hassanal Bolkiah, the 29th and current Sultan of Brunei. It is one of the two state mosques, the other Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque.

We were impressed with the design and facilities of this mosque. Very unique and have their own stories. #couplestrip #brunei

Brunei is an Islamic country, so mosques can be seen everywhere. Alcohol and pork are also prohibited in this country. The first mosque to be introduced is the Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah, named after the current 29th Sultan, who is the king in their mouth. The Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque is the largest mosque in the country and can accommodate thousands of worshippers at a time.

#celebratewithtrip Jame' Asr Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque is a mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. One of the most beautiful mosque in South East Asia.

Well worth to visit. #brunei #couplestrip

At the King’s Mosque they have separate entrance for the royal family. Men and women pray separately I just found out maybe this is normal for muslims. Photography is not allowed inside the mosque but i can say it was beautifully decorated Narra from the Philippines, chandeliers from Vienna, marble from Italy, carpet from Persia, metals from Australia and our guide mentioned the altar is gold. The room is air conditioned and they provide long robes for non-muslim tourists even if we were within dress code. #givethanks #givethanks

I had never even heard of the country before👂 There was a direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City, so I thought I'd take a look around, but in the end! I fell in love with Brunei🩵 This New Mosque, also known as Jame's Sul Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque🕌, is so luxurious, isn't it✨ I was traveling alone, so an old man who happened to be there took a photo of me, and I got this smile☺️ I'm so happy Not only the exterior, but the interior is so beautiful that I'm entranced!! The 6th escalator is apparently reserved for royalty 👸🫅 I couldn't take a photo, but the New Mosque lit up at night was also incredibly beautiful 🥰 And of course the mosques in Brunei are amazing, but the people in Brunei are just so kind and amazing 🥹 They speak English well, prices are relatively cheap, and it's only about 6 hours from Tokyo on a direct flight!

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 My favorite mosque in Brunei. It looks beautiful from a distance when driving from the city, and it is even more amazing when you enter the interior! I entered at 2pm when it opened. The staff at the door asked me to register in a leisurely manner (writing my name and country etc.). I was required to take off my shoes inside and girls were required to wear robes etc. (provided on site). Taking photos inside is very welcome, but no disrespectful photography is allowed. You can take a look at the notice at the door first. Address: Simpang 127, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei #BruneiAttractions #BruneiTravel

Visiting Brunei was an enriching experience, especially the visits to the iconic mosques and museums. The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is a marvel of modern Islamic architecture, with its majestic dome and minarets reflecting beautifully on the surrounding lagoon. Equally impressive is the Jame’ Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, which stands as a testament to Brunei’s deep Islamic faith. The museums, particularly the Royal Regalia Museum, offered a glimpse into the sultanate’s regal history and culture. The collection of ceremonial regalia and gifts to the Sultan is truly awe-inspiring. Each exhibit tells a story of Brunei’s rich heritage and the nation’s journey through time. Overall, the serenity of the mosques and the splendor of the museums made my visit to Brunei a memorable journey into the heart of Malay culture and Islamic tradition.

Compared to mosques in the desert areas of the Middle East, a mosque surrounded by palm trees is a bit strange, but it matches well. To enter, you need to wear a long black robe that covers your entire body and leave your camera behind. It is a solemn tour.
