Kota Kinabalu City Mosque, Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu City Mosque (GPS: 5.99571, 116.10771) is a grand mosque at Likas Bay in Kota Kinabalu. Officially opened on 2 February 2000, following the declaration of Kota Kinabalu as a city, the City Mosque or Masjid Bandaraya is the second main mosque in Kota Kinabalu after the Sabah State Mosque. The mosque is surrounded by reflecting pools - or lagoon - so as to appear as though it is floating in the water. The mosque can accommodate 10,000-12,000 worshippers at one time. It was designed to resemble the Al-Nabawi Mosque of Saudi Arabia.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
