Located within the premises of Senai International Airport in Senai, Kulai District, Johor, Malaysia, the Senai Airport Mosque serves as both a central place of worship for the airport and a welcoming spiritual hub for international travelers arriving or departing through the airport. It also functions as a public mosque for the local Muslim communities of Kampung Maju Jaya and the surrounding Senai township.

Architecturally, the mosque stands out with its enduring and elegant design. It features a distinctive octagonal dome above the entrance porch and a larger, matching dome crowning the main prayer hall. These domes are adorned with vibrant metalwork, suggestive of Persian-Mughal influences. Flanking the central dome are two slender minarets inspired by Mamluk architecture, gracefully finished in white. The mosque’s unique silhouette has become a notable landmark for those traveling along the main road leading to the airport, offering a stark yet harmonious contrast to the airport’s modern architectural style.

The grand entrance porch welcomes visitors with a vast open-air structure framed by flamboyant, pointed arches that echo the design of the ribbed dome above. The octagonal dome over the entrance is accentuated with Islamic geometric motifs, including the Rub el Hizb, seamlessly integrated into the paving pattern of the lay-by area.

Leading from the entrance is a prominent staircase ascending to the upper veranda and ancillary facilities. Additional stairways on either side enhance the sense of grandeur. The ancillary block, echoing the aesthetics of Mughal architecture, features intricate multifoil arches and refined whitewashed plasterwork, adding to the overall grace and beauty of the mosque.

Inside the main prayer hall, the external octagonal form transitions into a more rounded interior dome, richly decorated with arabesque plaster detailing. This exquisite ornamentation lends a serene and majestic ambiance to the space. Natural light filters through glass walls, bathing the hall in a soft glow throughout the day.

At the qibla wall, a series of multifoil arches culminate in a grand central arch framed by a recessed wall. The prominent muqarnas finish in the larger mihrab niche provides a dramatic focal point, partially occupied by a wooden minbar (pulpit). An older, smaller mihrab has since been covered, adding a layer of historical evolution to the mosque’s interior.
