Masjid Diraja Sultan Alaeddin, Jugra (6 July, 2016)


Masjid Diraja Sultan Alaeddin (GPS: 2.86335, 101.4398) is a beautiful mosque in the old royal town of Jugra, in Kuala Langat District, Selangor. It is located on Jalan Istana. It was named after Sultan Alaeddin (1863-1938) who had it built. According to the Jemaah Agama Islam Selangor, the mosque was opened on 18 June, 1924, by His Royal Highness Sultan Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah ibni Almarhum Raja Muda Musa. Wikipedia however states (without citation) that the mosque was constructed between 1903 and 1905, and opened in 1906 by Sultan Alaeddin.

At the time of my visit (July 2016), Masjid Diraja Sultan Alaeddin was undergoing restoration. It will many more months before the mosque is reopened to the public. The prayer hall has a double-tier hip roof topped with a roof lantern. There is a three-tier minaret which ends with a cup-shaped dome. The design of the minaret is reminiscent to that of the Kapitan Keling Mosque in Penang.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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