Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque

This is a beautiful Muslim building -- the construction style is a little different from the traditional Muslims mosque i saw in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
The design style is unique -- the back side of this mosque , accorss the water another side is Singapore..

This Victorian architecture mosque was built more than 100 years ago, and sits proudly on top of a prominent hill, overlooking the Straits of Johore. The main praying hall is not open to the public unless during prayer time.

Visited this beautiful mosque whole visiting a relative at the Hospital next door. Alhamdulillah it's really beautiful and well taken care of. Lots of parking because it was a weekday and I was doing Zohor/Asr. Worth visiting. Beautiful interiors and architecture.

A beautiful and historic mosque nestled in the heart of JB. Great for a quick visit to marvel at it’s majesty and take a quiet moment to reflect on life.

Do be mindful that this is still a functioning mosque so there will be people moving in and out for prayers and other religious activities.

I have been to this mosque in January 2023. Ot was a very calm and beautiful and peaceful place. From here we can see Singapore.

Historical mosque.. Still it’s open for prayer. Nice view beside the Malaysia-Singapore straights. Awesome architecture and amazing art effects.

The cleanliness and maintenance of the mosque are commendable, creating a welcoming environment for visitors. Whether you're a tourist exploring Malaysian heritage or a local seeking solace, the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque is a must-visit destination. It's a testament to the beauty of Islamic architecture and a tranquil haven that leaves a lasting impression.

Feel the Islamic atmosphere and open sea view out of the mosque.

Besides praying here. Many spaces where you can take a good picture.

The mosque nicely preserved and looks majestic like an old castle. Unfortunately, visitor was not allowed to enter the main prayer room area (mimbar) perhaps they have specific time only.

This is the place for a muslim to perform prayer. For non-muslim tourist please consider to come here because you may not allowed to enter inside the mosque to see the architecture of inside mosque. There are several security officials looking after this mosque.
I had an experienced perform salah in this mosque as musafir. Such a great mosque with unique architecture.

Simply beautiful. I was living in midlle East for 10years but this is one of the best mosque ever.

Some old reviews says that tourist are allowed to enter. But I talked one with one guard and he said no. However, you can enjoy the mosque from outside. It is still worth to visit for me.

Beautiful mosque offering some views out over parts of JB. Call to prayer around sunset was an incredible experience.

One of the beautiful masjid in JB. I love the architecture and the design of the masjid.

Alhamdulillah, very peaceful environments. Pleased to be there. The architecture of the mosque is very unique and modern. On the hill top so you can see it from any side. Parking lot is big enough, you can park on top of the hill, just beside the mosque or you can park at lower grounds or in between low land and the top. You can also go directly by walking to the mosque from street. The Islamic Center is at ground level and your left side and the mosque is at your right hand side on top of the hill. From here you will get a very good view of Singapore also.

A very lux and magnificent mosque at Johor Bahru's city centre. Its got a really welcoming and relaxing ambience. Open to all visitors. However, those who are allowed to enter the mosque are limited to Muslims.

A very solemn and beautiful place of worship. I was only outside as the people were praying.

A legendary mosque in JB. It is now open after a long period of renovation. It is near Zoo Johor which so cheap for the entrance. From up here you can get the view of the sea and can see Singapore. Big space of the mosque but no AC which is not a big deal giving the fact that the place is windy from the sea. A lot of parking space and a lot of open space to rest if you want to sleep. Sleep in the pray area is prohibited. Thats why they have the open space outside to rest and sleep. Beautiful design of the mosque even though the design is quite old but with new painting.

Today is Saturday, 29th June 2019... after 4 years... finally this gorgeous mosque is re-open to public during 2019 first day of Aidil Fitri. No matter if you are a local or foreign tourist, you should put this place in your Must Go list if your ever come to Johor Bahru. You won't regret it!!! Trust me... Here I put some pictures for you. Not a great photographer, but you'll know what I mean.

it was really nice to having experience doing Maghrib pray in here
