Masjid Al-Hussain (GPS: 6.39703, 100.1282) is the main mosque in Kuala Perlis. It is built on stilts over the coast, to appear as though floating over the sea. The mosque has a patterned cup-shaped dome over a single-tier hip roof. The minaret ends with a dual column. Masjid Al-Hussain looks very nice especially during sunset.

Masjid Al-Hussain was built by a local businessman, Tan Sri Mohd Ariffin Yusuf, based on design concept inspired by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Syed Sirajuddin Jamalulail. The mosque was named in honour of Tan Sri Mohd Ariffin Yusuf's late brother.

A unique feature of Masjid Al-Hussain is that the walls are finished using a variety of items, from corals to granite, marble and pebbles, rather than painted. The cup-shaped dome bears a cream-and-blue design comprising a layer of Polyvinylidene Diffluoride that offers protection to the surface.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
