About
Jamek Mosque stands on the point where the Klang and Gombak rivers join, the spot where Kuala Lumpur itself began. It was designed by the British architect Arthur Benison Hubback and completed in 1909. It served as the city's principal mosque until the National Mosque opened in 1965. Locals often call it the Friday Mosque, and 'Jamek' derives from the Arabic word for a place of congregation.
Best time to go: Visit outside prayer times and dress modestly; the river view from the plaza behind is best in the evening.
