Kabah Mosque

Producer: Andi_B

This is a new mosque just on the outskirts of Jakarta. About 25mins from center of city. Very shiny. Very hot at the middle of the day. best time to see it is early morning. You need to wear long sleeves and trousers if you want to go inside. Easiest way to get there is by taxi, buses are a bit tricky, it's out in the sticks but it sure sticks out.
