Al-Jabbar Grand Mosque, Bandung 

Who isn't interested in the splendor of the Al-Jabbar Grand Mosque, also known as the Gedebage Floating Mosque? Built in 2017, the Al-Jabbar Grand Mosque was designed to be above a retention lake which is one of the flood countermeasures in Gedebage. 

The architecture of the Al Jabbar Grand Mosque, which was designed by West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil when he was Mayor of Bandung, was inspired by the exterior and interior designs of mosques in Turkey and Iran, with a large courtyard and passing through buildings with different nuances.

The characteristic of this magnificent mosque is that it has 4 towers 99 meters high, as a symbol of Asmaul Husna. 

Another touch is that it has a typical West Java touch which can be seen at the top of the roof, namely the skewer icon, like the one found in Gedung Sate and the West Java Governor's office. 

You can enjoy the splendor of the Al Jabbar Grand Mosque with very easy access. If you come from outside the city of Bandung, you can take the train to Bandung Station, then transfer to the Bandung Raya Commuter Line or Garut Commuter Line and get off at Cimekar Station. 

From there, you only need to walk to the Al Jabbar Grand Mosque area. Apart from that, there are also motorbike taxi bases ready to take you to the West Java Grand Mosque area. 

Prambanan Temple, Yogyakarta 

A historical relic that we should not miss and was designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1991 is Prambanan Temple.

This 47 meter high Hindu temple was built by the Sanjaya Dynasty in the 9th century. The temple building consists of three closed courtyards. 

The main temple is located in the inner courtyard and is surrounded by several small temples called 'Perwara' temples. 

Apart from being able to enjoy the splendor of its historical heritage, you can also watch the cultural performance of the Prambanan Ramayana Ballet which is usually held every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 

Interested in visiting it? You can visit Prambanan Temple with very easy access, namely using the electric train (KRL) and getting off at Brambanan Station. 

The distance between Brambanan Station and Prambanan Temple is quite close, only about one kilometer. Thus, you can continue your journey on foot or by motorbike taxi to Prambanan Temple.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Solo (MRSZS), Surakarta 

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Solo (MRSZS), Surakarta Starting to open to the public on March 1 2023, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Solo continues to be flooded with tourists from various regions because the mosque building is so magnificent and charming that it is different from mosque buildings in Indonesia in general. 

The architecture of this mosque is similar to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi with four minarets, 82 small domes and one main dome in Moroccan style. 

Another splendor is that some of the floors and walls use Italian marble. However, there is a distinctive characteristic of this building, namely the presence of batik motifs on each component of the building such as kawung, kembang, and bokor kencono so that it does not leave behind typical Indonesian characteristics. 

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque has become the newest religious tourist attraction in the city of Solo which is worth visiting, especially because of its location close to Solo Balapan Station.
