Penang Floating Mosque, Modern mosque on the coast of Tanjung Bungah, Malaysia.
The Penang Floating Mosque extends over 1,295 square meters with a minaret reaching the height of a seven-story building along the Strait of Malacca.
The mosque opened in January 2005 after a 15 million Malaysian Ringgit investment to replace the previous religious building constructed in 1967.
The mosque incorporates design elements from Middle Eastern and Malaysian architectural traditions, featuring teakwood carvings and Islamic calligraphy throughout its structure.
The facility accommodates 1,500 worshippers and includes dedicated prayer spaces for men and women, plus parking for fifty vehicles along Tanjung Bungah road.
Built on stilts near the water, this religious structure creates an optical effect of floating above the sea during high tide periods.
