The Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque In Brunei

The most famous building in the Brunei capital skyline of Bandar Seri Begawan is the impressive Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. Named for the 28th Sultan of Brunei who started the mosque's contstruction, the building was completed in 1958.

Unsurprisingly, designed in the modern Islamic style. The central dome is finished in pure gold.


Inside, dark wood and more gold tones.


A look up at the interior dome. Sunset arrives, the mosque taking on a pink hue.

The call to prayer.


The glow of the setting sun gives way to the glow of the mosque.
