Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque



The Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque is located in Brunei. It is the beautiful mosque expecially in the night.It sits on an artificial lagoon near the Brunei River in Kampong Ayer, which is appropriately enough, known as a "Water Village". The mosque is one of the largest in the Far East and the most beautiful build in the world. The Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque completed in 1958. It is build of Italian Marble, gold mosaic and English stained glass. It reaches a hight of 52 meters. The cost for the mosque about USD$5,000,000.00. It is very expensive but gratify. I loved the style because it is build in an classical Islamic architecture. The mosque is open for visit in the day but, visitors are asked to dress conservatively when entering the mosque.That's all..Thanks...
