Ask for a tour. They provide excellent explanations. Lovely at night too as it is lit up. Good open air dining too.

The building itself speaks for itself. Incredible architecture. One has to read about it before you visit. Yes, it is a place for worship but we just admire it and it feels great! One needs to be in respectable attire before you enter. Do ask if you want take photos. The outside is fine but if you want take photos... More

As the first mosques I've had the opportunity to see up close and visit, I have to say that it was very impressive! If memory serves me correctly, I seem to remember seeing a sign (or unless I read it after getting home from my trip there), that it's the biggest mosque in all of Singapore and certainly very beautiful...

Irish architect Denis Santry of Swan and Maclaren adopted a Saracenic style when designing this mosque, incorporating minarets and balustrades. The mosque was completed in 1928.

A trip to the Sultan Mosque is an essential part of understanding one of the three major religions that make up modern day Singapore. The mosque is quite an imposing structure in its own right, easily seen from the surrounding area. Entry is free. I attended with the “Arab Street” tour from Singapore Walks which does a good job of... More
