Acheen St Mosque

The Acheen St Mosque is unusual for its Egyptian-style minaret (most Malay mosques have Moorish minarets). Built in 1808 by a wealthy Arab trader, the mosque was the focal point for the Malay and Arab traders in this quarter - the oldest Malay kampung (village) in Georgetown. It's open to visitors but all the usual mosque etiquette should be exercised: conservative clothing, take your shoes off, avoid prayer times and be respectfully quiet. Located a short walk from Khoo Kongsi.
