Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque

I visited the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur. It was raining, and since there was no roof over the area where we had to take off our shoes, they got wet. It might be better to visit when the weather is clear. Perhaps because of the rain, it felt like the least crowded mosque I’ve ever visited. The mosque itself was relatively compact, so I made sure not to disturb the worshippers, took a quick look around, and left shortly after.

A mosque in the central part of Kuala Lumpur, and one of the most famous tourist attractions. The guide in the mosque told me that the building is from the early 20th century and designed by an English architect. He probably said a lot of other things too, but I don't remember what. The whole building is an open and inviting environment with a beautiful garden. The floor in the parts that are covered with a roof is of light white-like marble with typical short pillars made to support the roof. You have to register via a QR code at the entrance and there is information about the free wifi that is offers to visitors. Many people come here to rest (sit on one of the benches, enjoy the pool or take a nap). While ladies should cover their legs, upper body and head, gentlemen are required to cover their legs to just below the knees.

A bit disappointed to see such an iconic mosque in need of some maintenance. We never entered, but the dome outside really did no justice to the site. If you do plan to visit inside the mosque, please be aware of the dress code. I.e. no shorts or bare shoulders, ladies to wear a hair cover. Note also visiting hours 10-12.30 & 14.30-16.00

One of historical mosque in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Beautiful. Elegant. Also become one of the tourist destination.

This is a really nice spot to visit while in Kuala Lumper City Centre also known as KLCC. The Mosque is very nice to visit. I would recommend you wear long pants and cover shoulders for women. The Mosque open at 2.30 pm but check before you decide to visit. It is located right in the city centre and within 5 minute walk to independence square. You can get a guided tour within the Mosque however a donation is welcome after a tour is given.

Suitable for attraction because the mosque parts of Kuala Lumpur historic location. Kuala Lumpur City Council need to preserved this building and make it look fresh for picture and in good condition. DBKL need to do regular Maintenance and restoration regularly to ensure it remains in good condition. Need to do Collaboration with local communities ensure its integrated with surrounding area.

In my 5 days stay I was seeing this beautiful structure all the time while changing MRT but somehow was not able to go inside. On last day without plan accidentally could go there. It was nice to see the so old mosque and a gentleman guide explained some important facts briefly. I met another female solo traveler there from Philippines. I am an Indian Santatani still we know things about Islam as in Indian we religions live together peacefully. It was a good experience to explore the place.
