Kota Kinabalu City Mosque, Kota Kinabalu

Beautiful mosque! The staff at the entrance is friendly too. Unfortunately, we are unable to visit as it is closed at 5pm. We were offered garden tour at 5 ringgit Tourist worthy: 4/5 Price: 4/5

Known as ‘A floating mosque’. It is a second main mosque and famous in Kota Kinabalu after State Mosque in Sembulan. The architectural design is based on the Nabawi Mosque, the second holiest site in Islam, in Medina, Saudi Arabia.The dome is blue and gold, inspired by similar Arabic architecture.

One of the nice mosque I ever went. Must buy ticket then can enjoy the best photo spots.

Very majestic worshipping place for our Muslim brothers. Its beauty perfectly reflected on the water below.

Having driven past this masjid on the way to Kudat I was interested in returning to it to do some photography. Before going to collect my heavy camera kit and tripod I stopped to walk past it on the road, to appraise it and take a couple of test shots on my phone. However I was stopped by, I presume, some security guy who obviously didn't want me to take a photo. My malay is poor to non existent and his English was the same so I wasn't sure why. Only after leaving and then reading google reviews did I realise that you are only allowed to photograph the masjid if you are willing to pay. I can understand this if you enter the property boundary but to say you cannot take a photo from the road seemed unreasonable. It made me wonder if the google streetview car was made to pay when it drove past. Not liking the attitude of the security I decided not to bother returning with proper camera equipment. Instead I'd rather focus my attention on the impressive looking Che Sui Khor Chinese Temple instead. I did snap some quick phone photos from the road after security had walked off.
