Cover photo description:
Al-Hussain Mosque is Kuala Perlisâ€™ well-known icon. Built next to the Kuala Perlis Jetty, the mosqueâ€™s structure extends over the Straits of Malacca, earning it the nickname â€˜Floating Mosqueâ€™. A 50-metre bridge connects to the main prayer hall above the water. The unique thing about this mosque is that its walls are not painted, but adorned with corals, quartz, granite, marble and pebbles instead. Its majestic golden-yellow-and-blue dome is made from two layers of aluminium, with a layer of Polyvinylidene Diffluoride & x28;PVDF& x29; protecting its surface. Another unique feature is its twin minarets, which are the first hexagonal minarets in the world. At night, the minarets come alive in various colours â€“ with each colour signalling a different prayer time â€“ which can be seen from as far as 10 kilometres.
