The Melaka Straits Mosque, also known as Masjid Selat Melaka, is one of the most beautiful and noteworthy mosques in Malaysia. The King (Supreme Ruler of Malaysia) inaugurated this magnificent modern mosque,  on November 24, 2006.  This mosque, which cost around MYR10 million, was built with a combination of Middle Eastern and Malay craftsmanship and appears to float during high tide.Aside from the mosque’s physical beauty, the natural beauty of the sunset view from here is also breathtaking. Many tourists and locals come earlier in the evening to watch the sunsets. Non-Muslim visitors are welcome, but must dress modestly and no shoes allow in the prayer hall. Women are required to bring a scarf or rent a shawl to cover their heads before entering.
