Zahir Mosque

Reviewed By Safari04223087559 - Alor Setar, Malaysia

One of the oldest mosques in Malaysia; parking could be congested during peak prayer times and festive seasons; a chosen place for newlyweds photography; and a very serenity place for Muslims to pray.

Alor Setar Tower

Reviewed By Nikkihasny

This tower is underrated. The outlook of the tower isn't in its glory days. However, the tower still gives you the aerial view of the city (Alor Setar). This is the only tower, that when I visited at almost sunset, there is no one around. I get the whole sunset view to myself. For the locals here the tower may be boring, but for visitors the tower is the place to check out the river, the old buildings and the landscape (including the hills). There is a fee to enter. You can go to the viewing area level or to the restaurant. Around the viewing area level (open air), there are few telescopes if there is no one around you can use it to your own and have a close up view of almost everything. The tower unfortunately has no explanation on the landmarks of the city. There are toilets at the viewing level. Best time to go is in the late evening when it is windy, not hot and you can stay till sunset.

Rumah Kelahiran Mahathir

Reviewed By Jo-AnnKYTan - Shanghai, China

This complex is simply lovely. Not only you get to visit Tun Dr Mahathir’s family home but you get to visit small museum buildings related to the man. It was a lovely experience. And oh, the public toilets were amazing. This complex is very well maintained. Must visit. Free entrance.
