Mosques

Alor Star, the capital of Kedah, offers a network of mosques and prayer rooms serving the local Muslim community. Based on available mapped records, there are 14 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius of the city center.

These centrally located mosques provide convenient options for daily prayers for residents and visitors in the heart of Alor Star.
