Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque, Johor Bahru

#tesaruonbudget


Sitting proudly on a hill overlooking the Straits of Johor, Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque is a blend of Victorian and Moorish architecture, with whitewashed walls and delicate minarets. Entry is free, though visitors should dress modestly. The peaceful grounds and sea views make it an ideal spot to pause between exploring the city’s busier areas. I found the location especially beautiful at sunrise, when soft golden light bathed the mosque’s exterior. It’s not just a place of worship but also a historical landmark that offers a glimpse into Johor’s royal past—without costing a cent.
