Day 1: Discovering Putrajaya’s Architectural Marvels

Relax Aboard the Putrajaya Cruise

Your tour starts with a convenient pickup in Singapore, preparing you for an action-packed adventure. En route, you stop for breakfast at a food court to taste the various flavours available in this region.

Upon arrival in Putrajaya, this will be where the real adventure begins! You will be treated to a serene 45-minute Putrajaya Cruise on the catamaran that glides around Putrajaya Lake, offering wide panoramic shots of the fantastic architecture and landscaping the city has in store.

It is a serene way to enjoy the beauty of Malaysia's administrative capital. The Cruise Tasik Putrajaya takes you to iconic landmarks such as Seri Wawasan Bridge, the Putra Mosque, and Perdana Putra, also known as the Prime Minister's office.

Photo Time at Putra Mosque, Perdana Putra and Astaka Morocco

Well, after the cruise, now is the time to see some of the landmarks you saw from a distance while on the boat earlier! The Putra Mosque is known for its pink dome and impressive design, majestically standing by the lake. Even though one is only allowed to tour the outside of the place, Muslim travellers appreciate the architectural and cultural significance of the building.

A significant architectural wonder lying nearby is Perdana Putra, which is hugely splendid and has an immense work of modern and traditional Islamic architecture. Each minute detail, minarets, and dome provide brilliance to the eye, which very well depicts that Malaysia is very serious about integrating the old roots of its historical history with modern-day leadership.

You will also visit the Moroccan Pavilion, a hidden gem of a building decorated with intricate Islamic designs that reflect Morocco's superb artistry. The astounding monument, with its Moorish-designed architecture and influence, symbolised significant diplomatic ties between Morocco and Malaysia.

Don’t forget to snap as many photos as possible at these Muslim-friendly places!

The Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) at IOI City Mall is built differently compared to the other cinemas of the same brand.

Essential travel tips:

As you will be outdoors for long periods, bring sunscreen and wear long sleeves! Since a boat ride is involved, pack some medicines if you are prone to motion sickness.
