Zahir Mosque

One of the oldest mosques in Malaysia; parking could be congested during peak prayer times and festive seasons; a chosen place for newlyweds photography; and a very serenity place for Muslims to pray.

Reviewed By 922hazell

Went back to Malaysia for visit with my 3 UK born children and husband, was taken to visit paddy field last week - very impressed! Just never expect in Alor star there is a museum like this, the beautiful drawing give a good insight of kampung Malaysia feel which I was totally in love with. The entry is very cheap, I wish they charge more so the maintenance can be keep going.
