Noah's ship mosque that's how many people call it. This is certainly not without reason, because this mosque has a unique building structure resembling a ship.

Uniquely, this mosque is not only used as a place of worship but also serves as a religious tourism destination in Semarang, Central Java.

It is known that this mosque was built in 2015, formerly this mosque was named Safinatun Najah. However, its unique shape is like a ship, finally this one mosque is better known to the public by the name of the Semarang Ship Mosque.

Located on Jalan Kyai Padak, Podorejo Village, Ngaliyan District, Semarang City. To get to the location of the mosque is not too difficult. In addition to entering the map in the Google Maps application, the ship's mosque can also be accessed through many routes. The majority of the routes taken are through Prof. Dr. Hamka Street, then to Gondoriyo Street, or just before Kedungpane Prison, Semarang.

From that road, you just follow the direction straight until you arrive at Podorejo Village. At the last point, the signboard for the ship's mosque is available, it's just a matter of continuing the journey.

The construction of this mosque was inspired by Noah's boat. This stunning rural mosque designed to resemble an ark with a wooden floor is also a tribute to the services of the prophet Noah.

Based on information this mosque consists of three floors. The first floor of the mosque is used as a meeting room, the second floor for the mosque, and the third floor is used for teaching activities and work halls.

Unlike mosques in general, to be able to get around you have to pay an entrance ticket for IDR 3,000 per person.

But in our opinion, the price is very worth it considering that later we will be presented with magnificent and unique buildings which of course we cannot get anywhere.

What are you waiting for, for those of you who like to travel, especially religious tourism, this Semarang ship mosque can really be included in the list of upcoming holidays.
