Ash-Shaliheen Mosque
Turquoise domes and tapering minaret caps rise above warm sand-coloured walls.
The story behind the place
Ash-Shaliheen Mosque brings Moorish-inspired architectural details to Bandar Seri Begawan. Brunei’s tourism authority identifies the building with architect Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil and describes its sand-toned walls, geometric screens and archways. The exterior pairs turquoise domes with simple cylindrical minarets. A series of rounded roof openings gives the lower building its own rhythm. Look for the blue roof surfaces against the warm walls, and the changing sizes of the arches below.
