Sultan Mahmud Riayat Syah Mosque is one of famous place to visit in Batam. This place is open for everyone who want to visit and see the interior inside. The mosque is so spacious and beautifull. you have to use syarii type of cloth for woman (like a dress that cover you ankle and long sleeve with head cap), they can provide the cloth if you dont have it. And the muslim can do praying inside, the part when man and woman praying will be separated by the separator as you can see on the image. They also provide cover for man to use for praying. Felt so quiet and peacefull being inside here. 🥰💕 #religiouslandmarks #religiousculture
