Brunei's landmark Omaali Mosque was built by the 28th King and is also the symbol of the capital city of Sribaga Bay. Compared with the quiet and refined of Jamie Mosque, Omaali Mosque is graceful and magnificent. The lake water in front of the mosque, which is as clear as a mirror, is embellished with a stone bowl, forming a pure natural picture with blue sky and white clouds. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we can only shoot in the field of vision hundreds of meters away from the appearance, unable to enter the shooting. Near the Omaali Mosque are Yayasan shopping mall, water village (including visiting mangroves to see long nosed monkeys), Brunei Royal Etiquette Gallery, also known as the Royal Regalia, the Old Parliament Building, and Square (held here on National Day). It is suggested that these scenic spots can be arranged for a day's visit. [Open time] Every Saturday-Wednesday, 8:30-12, 13-15, 16:30-17:30. Fridays: Free from 16:30 to 17:30.

Saifuding Mosque is a landmark building in Brunei and a must-see attraction for foreign tourists. The mosque is characterised by purity and dignity, with its back on the Brunei River. Looking from a distance, the whole building is tall and lofty. The huge round golden top and the hollow milky white spire are even more magnificent and heroic. The golden top is pure gold. Among all the spectacular sights, there is a replica of a 16th century Sudanese dragon boat, reflected in the clear water, linked by a winding path to the mosque, making it part of the mosque. It should be most appropriate to describe Omar-Ali-Saifuding Mosque with its natural and ingenious nature. It is said that night is coming, the reflection of the colorful lights in the water of the dragon boat and the waves of the water are so bright that it is like a dream.
