Appreciate the striking blue domes of Masjid Nasional Al Akbar, one of the biggest mosques in Indonesia. You can climb the minaret to get a panoramic view of Surabaya from 68 m (223 ft), or enjoy the renowned calighraphy that decorates the mosque's walls. Be aware that only Muslim visitors can visit the floor of the prayer area--however, tourists can view the room from the balcony. The range of food stalls outside the mosque offer authentic local meals.

  Al Akbar National Mosque (or so-called Great Mosque of Surabaya) is the second largest mosque in Indonesia located in the city of Surabaya, East Java after the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. The position of this mosque is located next to Surabaya-Porong toll road. An easy-to-see feature is its large dome accompanied by 4 small domes in blue. It has one tower that is 99 meters tall. Al-Akbar Surabaya National Mosque was built since 4 August 1995, on the idea of the mayor of Surabaya, H. Soenarto Soemoprawiro. Construction of the mosque is marked by laying the first stone by the vice president of RI Try Sutrisno. But because of the monetary crisis its construction was suspended temporarily. In 1999, the mosque was rebuilt and completed in 2001. On 10 November 2000, the mosque was inaugurated by the President of RI KH. A. The room is clean and comfortable. In the morning and evening many people use to just jogging around this building complex.
