Kuala Perlis has the most beautiful floating mosque located here which face the sea. Al-Hussain Mosque was completed in 2011 and constructed with mineral rocks without using any paint. Al-Hussain Mosque has been inspired by Raja Muda Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Syed Sirajuddin Jamalulail. This mosque was built on the beach of Kuala Perlis. Part of the construction extends to the Straits of Malacca. It took a period of four (4) years to complete at a cost of about RM12 million.


 In order to create a touch of natural environmental factors , the wall of the mosque are not painted but just use the rocks of coral, quartz, granite, marble and pebbles. The mosque was built in features that are easy care and durable in addition to unique designs.

 Around the floating mosque compound, there's few numbers of windmills installation. This is as one smart alternative to harness the wind on the sea to generate electricity.  The floating mosque has become a new landmark in Kuala Perlis were it has become the first mosque in the country using windmills as an energy supplier.
