Malacca Straits Mosque, also known as Masjid Selat Melaka, is a stunning architectural marvel situated on the man-made Malacca Island, off the coast of Malacca City, Malaysia. Completed in 2006, this mosque is noted for its unique design that combines Middle Eastern and Malay architectural elements. When the tide is high, it appears to be floating on the waters of the Malacca Strait, creating a picturesque and serene sight. The mosque features a striking golden dome, and its minaret doubles as a lighthouse, guiding ships navigating the busy strait. The interior is equally impressive, adorned with beautiful Islamic calligraphy and stained glass that fill the space with colorful light.
