[2025 West Coast Division Attraction] Travel Guide for Kota Kinabalu Floating Mosque (Updated Jun)

The mosque sits on a 14.83-acre (6.00 ha) site at Pasir Road on the shores of Likas Bay, on the South China Sea. It is partially surrounded by a human-made lagoon; this has given rise to the nickname "The Floating Mosque". It has a maximum capacity of 12,000 worshipers. The mosque features an ATM, three madrasas, a palliative care clinic, and – in a joint project with Universiti Malaysia Sabah – a fish farm. In 2008, the mosque introduced paddle boat rides, from which visitors could see the mosque from the water; a mosque committee member stated that this was to make the mosque more relevant to the community's life encompassing religion, economy and social aspects".

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 _ 📍Sabah Floating Mosque🕌 🚗Take Grab directly to 🎫 Entering the room + renting clothes RM 10 _ The magnificence of the mosque is beyond words. What moved me even more was the devout Muslims It was Ramadan when I visited. It happened to be the time for noon prayer. Seeing hundreds of people praying at the same time, I was inexplicably moved _ I don't have any religious beliefs. Comparison of Islam's five daily prayers It was a huge culture shock for me. I also experienced how Muslim women dress. It's really hot 🥵 _ Sabah has few attractions So this is one of the highlights of the visit. If you don't buy a ticket, you can also take photos outside But I sincerely recommend that you go inside to visit I have been to many mosques, and this is one of the few that offers a costume experience (After all, most visits are free 😂 #Malaysia #malayali #EastMalaysia #SabahKota Kinabalu #katokinabalu #lovekk #mosque #ramadan #islam #ManyouinMalaysia

#Overseas travel The Blue Mosque with its blue dome and white walls was really beautiful. 💙 Especially, the reflection in the surrounding artificial lake was like a painting, so I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration the moment I saw it. 📸 The interior had a quiet and pious atmosphere, and it was a good time to briefly feel Islamic culture. You need to prepare appropriate clothing when visiting, but you can rent hijabs and clothes on site, so there was no need to worry. ☪️ , It's good to include it in a city tour course. The view of the mosque and the sunset across the lake was an unforgettable scene. 🌅 📍 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Jalan Pasir, Jalan Teluk Likas, Kampung Likas, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Construction began in 1992 and the mosque opened for worship on February 2nd, 2000, following the proclamation of Kota Kinabalu city status. The architectural design is based on the Nabawi Mosque in Medina, external walls and minarets are white, contrasted by the blue and gold coloured dome. Unfortunately, our tour did not include provision for visiting, viewing external only from the boundary fence.

This is the Blue Mosque in Kota Kinabalu! It is a very unique and special temple, so I highly recommend you visit it! It is a unique place.

#Southeast Asia Travel I'd like to introduce you to the Blue Mosque, which was my favorite place during my 3-night, 5-day trip to Kota Kinabalu👍 You can visit it in about 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Kota, but it was easy to get around because it was well-located The entrance fee is cheap at 10 ringgit, and if you visit on a nice day, you can get some really great shots Primary colors like white and black look good in photos, but I wanted to wear pink, so I wore it. I'm very satisfied with the results. 🐰 There are 3 famous mosques in Kota (Blue, Pink, Gold) I like the Blue one the most. I recommend it!😊 📍Blue Mosque 📌Jalan Pasir, Kampung Likas, Kota Kinabalu, Bahagian Pantai Barat, Sabah, Malaysia ⏰ 08:00~22:00 💰 10 Ringgit #Kota Kinabalu #Kota KinabaluTravel #BlueMosque
