The local residents of Sabah predominantly practice Islam, and the floating mosque is the largest in the region. With its pristine white exterior and golden domes, the mosque covers approximately 3 acres and is situated on an artificial saltwater lake in Likas Bay. It was originally constructed to celebrate Kota Kinabalu’s upgrade to city status in the year 2000. The four towering spires serve decorative purposes, one of which functions as a broadcast tower. The exterior is solemn and sacred, said to resemble the Nabawi Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The best view is said to be at sunset, when the golden glow of the setting sun makes the mosque appear dreamlike and surreal. Coupled with the reflections on the lake and the interplay of light and structure, the scene is dazzling and unforgettable—making it a sight you absolutely can’t miss in Sabah.
