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.

The State is bounded on the north by Thailand, the east and south by Kedah and on the west by the Straits of Melaka. Even though the state covers a small area, Perlis does not lose out where attractiveness to tourists is concern. Perlis is a pleasant and excellent destination for holidaymakers with her expansive green paddy plains punctuated occasionally by limestone mounds and her laid-back rural lifestyle and picturesque natural setting. It provides natural surroundings, refreshing atmosphere and most importantly, the cost of living in Perlis is much lower compared to other big cities in the country.
