Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque

The mosque perches on top of a hill, making it visible from the city’s center. Overlooking the ocean, the mosque is considered one of the best places for meditation and relaxation.

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple

This is one of the city’s oldest Hindu temples.

It started out as a humble hut but was rebuilt into a magnificent glass temple through the vision of Sri Sinnathamby Sivasamy, more popularly referred to as Guru Bhagawan Sittar, who still serves as the temple’s chief priest, chairman, and driving force.

Tourists from all over the world, as well as the local devotees, are drawn to the temple by its sheer magnificence and extraordinary glass artwork. A breath-taking mosaic of white, purple, blue, red, yellow, and green glass embellishes 90% of the temple. The ceilings, walls, doors, and pillars of the temple reflect the light that comes from crystal chandeliers, resulting in a blinding blaze of glorious light.
