Masjid Al Hussain
Dubbed as one of the most beautiful mosques in Malaysia, Masjid Al-Hussain is Kuala Perlis’ well-known icon. Built next to the Kuala Perlis Jetty, the mosque’s structure extends over the Straits of Malacca, earning it the nickname ‘Floating Mosque’. A 50-metre bridge connects to the main prayer hall suspended above the water. When the tide is up, and at just the right light conditions, the mosque, with its reflection in the waters, appears to float upon itself, lending an almost magical feel to this place of worship.
The mosque is also a great spot from which to appreciate the beautiful sunset. The streaks of colour and cloud formations at dusk simply transform the entire landscape into a dramatic backdrop that frames the mosque into an Instagram-worthy moment.
The unique thing about this mosque is that its walls are not painted, but are, instead, adorned with various corals, quartz, granite, marble and pebbles, providing a unique tactile surface that contrasts to the smooth lines, domes and curves of the building. Its majestic golden-yellow-and-blue dome is made from two layers of aluminium, with a layer of Polyvinylidene Diffluoride (PVDF) protecting its surface.
Another unique feature is its twin minarets, which are the first hexagonal minarets in the world. At night, the minarets come alive in various colours – with each colour signalling a different prayer time – which can be seen from as far as 10 kilometres
