Masjid Jamek is located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak river, the site where Kuala Lumpur was founded. It is considered one of the oldest mosques in the country as it has over 100 years of history since it was built in 1909 by architect A.B Hubbock. The same architect was also responsible for designing the country’s many colonial buildings.
Known as the Friday Mosque, Masjid Jamek is well-known for its unique Mughal architecture which consists of three large onion-shaped domes, two minarets and arched colonnades. Moreover, the mosque surrounding area is beautifully decorated by palm groves. Coupled by its strategic location which possesses unrivaled views of the city, the mosque forms a tranquil haven in the middle of the city.
The mosque is open to visitors except its main prayer hall which only Muslim are allowed to enter. Visitors to the mosque must be dressed appropriately with arms and legs covered and women must cover their hands. Gowns are supplied free of charge and shoes must be taken off before entering.
