   The largest mosque in the country, Jame’Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, was built in 1992 to celebrate the 25th year of the current sultan’s reign. While some prefer the facade of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, the interior here is best described as jaw-dropping. The sheer volume is in itself amazing, not to mention the myriad woven rugs scattered across the men’s prayer hall. At the grand opening, the sultan gave every attendee a gold-embroidered prayer rug.
