Jamek Mosque

Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque, commonly called Masjid Jamek, is a historic mosque at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers in central Kuala Lumpur. Built between 1907 and 1909 and designed by British architect Arthur Benison Hubback in Moorish and Indo-Saracenic style, it is among the city's oldest mosques. Notable for its white domes, red-brick minarets and riverside setting, it served as Kuala Lumpur's principal mosque until 1965 and remains an active place of worship and heritage landmark.

Visitors can expect a riverside mosque complex with Moorish-style domes, arched colonnades, and striped red-and-white minarets set among palm trees and landscaped courtyards at the meeting point of two rivers. The exterior, prayer halls, and courtyard can be viewed from designated visitor areas outside prayer times. The setting is urban and central, adjacent to the River of Life waterfront, with views of the historic colonial core and modern city skyline nearby.
