About Melaka Straits Mosque (Masjid Selat Melaka)

The Straits Mosque stands on stilts on the man-made Melaka Island and appears to float when the tide is high. It was opened in November 2006 and combines Middle Eastern and Malay craftsmanship, with stained glass filling the space between its two front arches.

Its 30-metre minaret also works as a lighthouse. Many people come for the sunset over the Strait; that visit is in the Melaka night view guide.
