Discover Mosque Serenity 🌲Historic Johor Views✨

#hellohalloween
Johor Bahru is calling, and if you’re into unique architecture and blue-skied vibes, the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque will blow your mind 🌤️. This spot is a stunning blend of Victorian and Moorish styles with palm-studded green lawns and a panoramic view over the Straits of Johor.

📸Must-See Place:
🔥 Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque
📍Location: Jalan Gertak Merah, Masjid Sultan Abu Bakar, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
Opening hours: 05:00-06:45, 12:30-21:15 (year-round)

💡 Practical Tip: Visit in the early evening for golden hour shots – the sunlight makes the white-washed walls GLOW, and you’ll catch epic views across the water. The grounds are open and grassy with cool shade from old trees – perfect for a peaceful stroll or a quick Insta shoot against the Western-style architecture. Just remember, modest attire is a must (cover shoulders and knees), and entry may be restricted during prayer times.

🚗 Getting Around:
Grab a local taxi or use a rideshare app for an easy trip. If you’re exploring other parts of Johor Bahru, local buses are budget-friendly, but cabs are way easier for this spot. Make sure to download offline maps before heading out – not all drivers speak English!

Eat & Drink:
Hungry after sightseeing? Nearby coffee shops have solid Malaysian kopi and light snacks. Or, for something classic, hit up a local food court for laksa or nasi lemak – these are must-tries!

Johor Bahru is humid year-round, so carry water and dress cool, but keep it respectful for mosque visits. Malaysia uses the ringgit (MYR), and cards are accepted in most places, though stalls and taxis prefer cash.
