Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque

A beautiful mosque. In night it’s even more beautiful with the lighting and smoke effects in river. There is a nice walkway in the back where you can go for an evening walk and get some great pictures. To enter in the mosque basic dress code is required for a religious place and females need to cover their head.

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

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.

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.

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

The Samad Jamek Mosque is an architectural marvel and a prominent historical landmark in Kuala Lumpur. This stunning late-19th century building, with its distinctive Moorish design and a towering clock, offers free public access to its exterior and surrounding grounds. While it's a government building and not a temple, it's highly recommended to dress modestly as a sign of respect, given its historical and cultural significance in Malaysia. There are free dresses also available at the entrance. This iconic building is beautifully situated near the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers, which is precisely where you can experience the spectacular "River of Life." As evening approaches, the river area transforms into a vibrant, music-synchronized light and fountain show (often referred to as the "Blue Pool" due to its stunning blue illumination). This captivating spectacle is a definite must-see and a highlight of Kuala Lumpur's evening attractions.
