This mosque is built on a man-made island called the island of Melaka and at the time of flooding the mosque is like floating on the sea of Malacca Strait. The Straits mosque was opened in 2006 and the mosque use concept and architecture from a Jeddah floating mosque. This mosque architecture is a combination of today's built middle east and melayu. There are also decorations made of bamboo and wood carvings. The mosque also has a different function of being a traffic light for boats and ships passing through the Malacca Strait on a dark night. At night the mosque is amazing.
Location: Masjid Selat, Melaka Island, 75000 Melaka
