Overall, Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque is highly regarded for its architectural beauty, peaceful environment, and welcoming staff, making it a recommended stop for those visiting Kuala Lumpur.

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 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.
