Masjid Daerah Balik Pulau

Masjid Daerah Balik Pulau (29 January 2005)


Masjid Daerah Balik Pulau (GPS: 5.33988, 100.22229) is a big and modern mosque in Balik Pulau. It was completed in - if I am not mistaken - the middle of 2004. The mosque is located along the Balik Pulau main road, a short distance from another mosque, Masjid Kongsi, which is nearer to Balik Pulau Town.

What to see or do there

Masjid Daerah Balik Pulau is not geared for tourist visit. It is not open to non-Muslims. One can still appreciate it from outside. Not a destination on its own, but worth a brief stopover if passing through.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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