This Moorish mosque rests on the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers, the birth-place of Kuala Lumpur. This is the very spot where the first settlers of Kuala Lumpur built their shacks.
The mosque, which dates from 1908, is the oldest in the city. It was designed by Arthur Benison Hubbock, an architectural assistant in the Public Works and Survey Department, who was intrigued and inspired by the Mogul architecture of India.
I was trying to get a beautiful photo but it suddenly rain though when we're in the car the rain stopped..Grrr..It's one of the pretty mosque around the colonial district of the city.

Probably the most attractive mosque in town is the Masjid Jamek, which is located in the colonial district.
Located at the fork of the two rivers that flow through the city, it does make for an attractive setting for this striking white mosque.
Easy to find... There are stops on both the Star and Putra LRT lines nearby... (of the same name, Masjid Jamek, conveniently enough...)

The Masjid Jamek Mosque is located just behind the Sultan Abdul Samad Building at the place where the Klang and Gombak Rivers meet. It is the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur and the architecture is very beautiful. You can visit except at prayer times, and try to dress modestly as this is a place of worship. One bad point in my own opinion is that it is very hard to take nice photographs of the building without having to include the modernized buildings at the background. Nevertheless, this is one of the must see when in Kuala Lumpur.

Outside the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple are quite a few men busy in binding garlands which can be used by the devotes to offer to Mariamman in the temple.

The temple was founded in 1864 by Yap Ah Loy, a Chinese man considered one of the founders of Kuala Lumpur itself. There is a statue of him inside the temple.

Masjid Jamek is a beautiful building. It lies at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers where KL started life and from which it took its name. The mosque was designed by AB Hubbock in 1907.
