#PenangTravel #MalaysiaTravel #floatingmosque 👋Salamat Datang from Penang, Malaysia ✨️Penang is an island🏝 in Malaysia. There are direct flights✈️ from Thailand. The time is 1 hour ahead of Thailand. ✨️Masjid Kapitan Keling Mosque 🕌(Floating Mosque) is located by the sea🌊. When the tide is high, it looks like the mosque🕌 is floating on the water. ✨️It was first built in Tanjong Bungah in 1967 to accommodate 500 worshippers. As the population grew, the mosque became too small for the local community. However, due to limited space, the idea was to build a mosque🕌 on the sea🌊. Construction of the new mosque🕌 began in 2003 and was officially opened on March 16, 2007. ✨️🕌This mosque is built using a mix of Middle Eastern and local architecture and has a prominent minaret. Can accommodate 1,500 religious practitioners Open every day, no admission fee 🎈https://maps.app.goo.gl/dMoESmUc28tiM9RPA
