Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque

Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque in Johor Bahru is Johor’s grand white-domed state mosque, set above the Strait of Johor with views toward Singapore. Completed in the early twentieth century, its British-Malay architectural blend remains a civic and spiritual landmark. The mosque conveys royal Johor dignity—open lawns, pale walls and sea light. Non-Muslim visitors should check opening times for sightseeing, dress modestly with covered limbs, and enjoy the waterfront setting without entering prayer halls during services. From the lawns, ferries and city lights across the Strait remind you that Johor’s state mosque watches a busy maritime border.
