Most locals in Sabah primarily practice Islam, and the water mosque is the largest in the region. With its pristine white exterior and golden domes, the water mosque covers approximately 3 acres and is located on an artificial saltwater lake in Likas Bay. It was originally built to celebrate Kota Kinabalu’s upgrade to city status within Sabah in the year 2000. The four towering spires serve decorative purposes, with one functioning as a broadcasting tower. The exterior is solemn and sacred, said to resemble the Nabawi Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. To see the best view, visit during sunset when the golden rays bathe the mosque, making it appear dreamlike and surreal. Coupled with the reflections on the lake and the interplay between the real structure and its mirror image, the dazzling brilliance is unforgettable—it’s a sight you absolutely can’t miss in Sabah.
