Another attraction at the Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur, is the Asy-Syakirin Mosque. Another one of Kuala Lumpur's majestic mosques with a touch of the Middle East. Also known as Jewel in the Park, located in the vicinity of the twin towers.
This mosque was finished by skilled craftsmen from Uzbekistan who rendered carvings and calligraphy on the interior and internal facade of the dome. It may looks small from outside but the design was based on maximum utilization of space.
Come and join my tour of High Dynamic Range photography-offering something special for everyone! ^_^

Nice pic... I've seen some mosques in my hometown of Spain, this one really modern in architecture.. Have u had anymore pic regarding mosque in your country? I'm currently on holiday in KL.
It is a very beautiful mosque. I pass by the Asy-Syakirin everyday and it still fascinates me every time I look at it.
dah lama tak pegi sana, dulu2 kalau surau KLCC penuh, jalan pegi masjid ni la jawabnya.
Bain, i write an entry for you and Kak Emi. Hope it's ok with you.
