To the mosque known as the Blue Mosque 🕌 The name is very long, 📍: Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque. Too long. You need to make a reservation on the day to enter the Blue Mosque. You will be guided inside with an English guide. So, the moment you arrive, suppress your desire to take photos and head straight to the entrance! Reserve a time. If it's crowded, you won't be able to enter immediately, and the guide won't start immediately at the time you arrive. Once the reservation is complete, take photos of the scenery outside until the time, or rest on a bench. After that, follow the instructions and rent a hijab. The hijab is the same blue as the Blue Mosque. It's surprisingly cute. I don't understand the English instructions at all, but when I go inside, it's blue, blue, and cute. I hope you take a photo of the stained glass! By the way, the main ceiling is not blue lol (last photo) It's best to access it by taxi 🚕.

I went on a Sunday, but there were not many people and it was easy to see! The building is not free to enter, but a guide will guide you, and you will be in a group, so you will start as soon as the number of people gather.
