Rising above the sea at the southern end of Pantai Losari, this futuristic twin-domed house of worship (constructed using concrete piles driven into the seabed) is known as the ‘floating mosque’. Visitors of all faiths are welcome. Built in 2009, it can accommodate 500 worshippers, and enjoys fine coastal views. The landscaped area around the mosque is the place to break the daily fast during Ramadan. There are lots of locals promenading at sunset and attending the mosque for Maghrib (18.01), and Isha (19.10) prayer. I’ve googled the significance of the mosque name- Amir al-Mu’minin is historically a title bestowed on ‘leaders of believers’ (as a form of respect and identity for these leaders) from the time of the Prophet Mohammed.
