Located on the banks of the Likas Bay, the Sabah City Mosque was built in 1997 and covers a hectare of land. It is a typical contemporary Islamic building and one of the most magnificent mosques in Malaysia. As it is built on the man-made lake in Likas Bay, it feels like it is floating above the water, so it is also known as the floating mosque. The stunning white building contrasts beautifully against the blue sky.
Tips: The reflection is only available in the morning and evening. It is almost 12 MYR from the city to take a taxi to the mosque.

The mosque is a classic example of contemporary Islamic architecture and offers an unforgettable view of the sunset. The stunning scenery features the white mosque reflected in the lake surrounding it, accented by a backdrop of clear blue sky.
Took a taxi there and strolled back (around 1hr) to jetty town area.. Was disappointed that they charged a fee to go near to the surroundings of the mosque for phototaking.. but if you ignore the fee entrance and just walk further down you can skip the fee and still take some photos :p The stroll back to town was surprisingly pleasant as it was along a beach park and cycling trail #gowithfelix
we chose to visit the city Mosque just before the sunset, the view was fantastic and the photos that we took was absolutely amazing
Beautiful mosque, ideally located, well managed, staff around very welcoming and pleasing.
The Mosque is not too far from the city center and a good place for some scenic photos. If you’re not dressed appropriately, no worries, there are rental garbs onsite for both men and women. Aside from photos, there’s not much other to do as it’s an active place of worship.
Gorgeous mosque in Kota Kinabalu. This is a popular tourist destination for photos.
