Located in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital and largest city in Brunei, the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is considered as one of the most spectacular mosques in all of Asia. It has quickly become a major tourist attraction in Brunei and it is also considered as their national landmark.

The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is named after the 28th Sultan of Brunei. It is a symbol of the Islamic faith in the country and ever since its completion in 1958, it has dominated the skyline of the capital city. Perhaps the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque is the best example of modern Islamic architecture.
