ABOUT

The Blue Mosque today is a tourist hotspot because of its tradition and importance to the history of the Ottoman Empire and the city of Istanbul. Many people continue to go there not only to embrace its architectural beauty, but also to participate in daily prayer services that still occur in the mosque. The mosque's interior is cooled with inverted stand fans and chilled air is piped through air vents located at the base of the fans. It was an interesting science behind this novelty. The mosque is located in Shah Alam which was the former Malaysian capital and should be visited by any visitor of Malaysia. It is a very beautiful mosques from outside. You can park inside in the yard and enjoy the garden. You can visit the inside of mosque with a guide unless they have service. Women get a cape and a head scarf for inside visit.
