In addition, the museum provides information on the process of rice cultivation, giving visitors an insight into the staple food of many people. The museum also exhibits various varieties of rice as well as the equipment and tools used to grow rice from time to time in various countries.

Zahir Mosque

Continuing your journey, you can head straight to the Zahir Mosque, which is less than 1 km away from the Alor Setar Tower. Zahir Mosque is the largest and oldest mosque in Alor Setar city, which was built in 1912.

It is on the list of the 10 most beautiful mosques in the world thanks to its architectural beauty. It features a mix of Moorish and Mughal architectural styles, which is evident from its large domes and magnificent mosque facade.

Interestingly, the five large domes of the Zahir Mosque represent the five pillars of Islam. In addition, each part is designed with the tropical climate in mind. For example, the mosque has many large openings that allow fresh air to enter the mosque, and its sloping roof is designed to allow water to drain off easily during heavy rains.
