The Blue Mosque

The most recogniseable landmark of Shah Alam, the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah mosque is one of the most beautiful buildings in the country. It is also known as "The Blue Mosque of the East" in reference to the Blue Mosque in Turkey.

Its four minarets, at 142.3 meters are among the tallest in the world. Its graceful blue dome is one of the largest of its kind (hence the nickname the Blue Mosque). The dome's computer-designed lighting system creates the illusion of being in the desert on a star-filled night inside the mosque.

Decorative Islamic calligraphy enhances the dome and main prayer-hall, while the overall architecture integrates ethnic Malay, Arabic and modern design elements. The mosque is a holy place of superlatives that can accommodate about 24,000 worshippers at one time.

This is the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque or the Blue Mosque, so named because of its blue dome. During our visit here, I've seen it so big that I find it hard to take pictures. That is why vter Siti took us to a vantage point where we can take a whole picture of the mosque.

Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque

The mosque is a holy place of superlatives with four 40-meter-high (132-foot) minarets, some of the tallest in the world. It can accommodate about 24,000 worshippers under a computer-designed dome whose lighting system creates the illusion of being in the desert on a star-filled night.

Situated at the Shah Alam Lake Gardens, the Shah Alam Gallery exhibits a wide collection of art, local handicraft and fabrics for viewing and for sale.

Sometimes, the UiTM students from the Arts & Design Faculty will display some of their works here and visitors could buy some of the arts at a bargain of the normal price.

The Shah Alam Lake

The Shah Alam Lake Garden is one place where you can get away from it all by heading towards the numerous green spots and beautiful landscaped gardens. It is a place for residents and visitors to relax amidst tranquil, back-to-nature settings.

Popular for its annual International Boat Show and the Selangor Orchid Exhibition, the lake garden is also wonderfully suited for a picnic during the weekends where you can have fun on the manmade lakes. If you like seafood, there is also a floating restaurant there.

Shah Alam Lake Garden is a combination of 3 man-made lakes and located in the city center. In the East is Tasik Damai, in the middle is Tasik Indah and in the West is Tasik Permai.

The 43-hectares area is surrounded with beautiful and green landscape which has become a fresh water habitat. There are several species of birds including the Peacock, Stork and the elusive Forest Chicken being reared here.

The Shah Alam Lake is a site of many annual events. A culture centre called Laman Budaya, the Wet World Water Park and the Shah Alam Gallery are within this area. Picnic and children's playground areas dot the well-kept parkland.

The Selangor Islamic Arts Park Complex in Shah Alam can be considered the latest tourist attraction. It is dedicated to the production, exhibition and development of local Islamic arts and expected to attract both local and foreign visitors.

Sultan Alam Shah Museum

The Sultanate Gallery

The museum is home to various permanent exhibits on the history of Malaysia’s most dynamic and fastest growing state and displays many treasures and artifacts connected to the history of Selangor.

Bits of history and historical regalia of the Royals are all there on display. The most interesting of the various rooms must be the History Gallery. Walk through the arch, and get a feel of what people of a century or two ago were using, wearing, and even speaking.

There are also other informative galleries featuring photographs, historical anecdote, royal regalia and also one on the development and history of sport.

A noteworthy mention is the cultural gallery which showcases the customs of the Malays in the state, their history and also the early dialects. All things related to the daily life of a Malay was showcased, including the rituals surrounding birth, marriage and death.

The Natural History gallery depicts Selangor’s rich natural heritage in the form of an open diorama, while yet another gallery is devoted entirely to the Islamic history of Selangor.

The museum is open from 9.30am - 5.30 pm every day but it is closed from 12.00pm - 2.45pm on Fridays for Friday prayers. Entrance is free.
