Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque

This magnificent mosque sits at the very heart of the capital city and the country's Islamic faith. Built in 1958 and named after the 28th Sultan Of Brunei, it is one of the most impressive mosques in South-East Asia. Set amid its own lagoon, the mosque seems to be floating, surrounded by lush greenery and floral gardens, while its glittering dome, covered in real gold, soars above the skyline. Featuring luminous stained glass windows, floors of gleaming Italian marble, walls of Shanghai granite, chandeliers from Britain and Carpets from Saudi Arabia, the mosque brings together the world's best materials in a tour de force of architectural beauty and spiritual ambience. A marble bridge across the lagoon brings you to a replica of a 16th century Royal Barge, which used to host religious ceremonies, like Quran reading competitions. At night, the mosque is illuminated, making it a vision to be seen. Opening Hours : Sun-Wed, 8am until 5:30pm, EXCEPT at Prayer times Closed : Thurs-Fri Shoes are to be removed before entering. Dress appropriately For Men : No shorts, No Sleeveless ( wear long pants) For Women : No singlets, No shorts, must cover leg ( wear Long pants)

Gadong Night Market

Reviewed By kjpdavid - Melbourne, Australia

During our stay in Bandar Seri Begawan the Gadong Night Market became our go to place whenever we craved local cuisine for dinner. Located within walking distance from The Mall Gadong and less than 1km from Jame Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, it features 4 long rows of undercover market stalls cooking and selling just about any local dish that you'd care to sample. The traders - like everyone who crossed paths with us in Brunei - are very friendly and accommodating, most single servings of food would cost B$1-4 (vegetable dishes the cheapest, lamb the dearest) and you could eat heartily for around B$10 p/person. There's plentiful free parking but be mindful that the market is mostly patronised by locals (always a good indicator of its value and authenticity) and gets very crowded from around 6pm onwards. Highly recommend.

Brunei Museum

The Brunei Museum was established in 1965, with its first administrative office at the Civic Centre in Bandar Brunei, now known as Bandar Seri Begawan. Given approval for a building of its own, a location was selected for the museum, on a historical site, at Kota Batu about 5km from Bandar Seri Begawan. The construction of the building commenced in 1968 and was completed in 1970. It was officially opened on February 29, 1972 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of United Kingdom.
