Fodor's Expert Review Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque
Bandar Seri Begawan
Commissioned by the current Sultan in 1992, this magnificent mosque features 29 minarets—Hassanal Bolkiah is Brunei's 29th Sultan—all clad in 24-carat gold and covered with delicately crafted rare stone and hand-painted tilework. Inside, the mosque is equally astounding, its enormity reinforced by soaring ceilings, vast prayer halls, and exquisite tilework.
