Bandar Seri Begawan / Attractions / Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque
Majestic and dramatic, this mosque is a contrast to the water houses. It is one of the largest mosques in South-east Asia, and has a gold dome, a lagoon and an observation point in one of the minarets where you can get a wonderful view of the city.
It's richness is elevated by some of the finest materials used:
the best marble from Italy, granite from Shanghai, stained glass
and chandeliers from England and carpets from Belgium and Saudi
Arabia.

bone pains; oiled leaves are heated and applied to painful areas.
