Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque

Built: 1958 Cost: USD $5,000,000 Type: Holy place
Observation deck: Yes Location: Kampong Ayer,
Bandar Seri Begawan (formerly Brunei Town)

A mazing in appearance, but too beautiful to be true,
The Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque is Brunei's proudest
architectural achievement.

It sits on an artificial lagoon near the Brunei River
in Kampong Ayer, which is appropriately enough, known
as a "water village."

A structure in the water that resembles a ship was at one
time used for official state ceremonies.

The mosque is the largest in the Far East, and considered
among the most beautiful in the world. It reaches a height
of 52 meters and is topped with a gold dome supported by
walls of Italian marble, which also forms the mosque's columns,
arches, and towers.

The stained glass was hand made in England and the carpets
are Saudi Arabian
