Masjid al Akbar

With beautiful turquoise tiled domes and contemporary architecture, the Al Akbar Mosque immediately warrants everybody's attention. Being the second-largest mosque in Indonesia, the Masjid also has a tall minaret which offers a bird's eye view of the beautiful Surabaya cityscape. The minaret soars 99m into the sky, and its height is an allusion to the 99 names of Allah.

Masjid Al Akbar is truly one of the most impressive mosques in Indonesia. One can surely catch a glimpse of the watery and turquoise styled domes while exiting the city. The staff around are amicable and will happily show you around the beautiful minaret to get awestruck by the spectacular view. The attractive and unique feature of the dome is that it almost resembles a half egg!

Apart from the high minaret, the mosque also has high and large rooms which are the largest in the country. Thus, the central and strategic location of the mosque makes it easily accessible to visitors from different areas in and around Surabaya.
