Mosques in Kuala Lumpur: Here’s Where to Pray

As the capital city of a Muslim country, Kuala Lumpur has plenty of mosques with almost one at every corner. Every Muslim traveller planning their trip to this lovely city should have ‘mosque-hopping’ as one of their list of activities to do here.

Kuala Lumpur is home to a couple of mosques that feature unique architectural styles, expensive prayer halls and picturesque landscapes. Majority of the mosques are inspired by Mughal, Moorish and Islam architectural styles, but there are also modern and environmental-friendly religious structures. Why not use this compact list of all the mosques in Kuala Lumpur to go mosque-hopping?

City Centre 

Like any other city centres, this is where everything’s at. From the best shopping malls like Berjaya Times Square to famous attractions like the Petronas Twin Towers, this is the area that never sleeps. It’s also the district with the oldest and most breathtaking mosques in the whole city.

Take a stroll at KLCC Park and soak in the beauty of this city, then take a break from shopping in mega malls to shopping at iconic local streets like the Petaling Shopping Street. There’s so much to do here, but there’s also a huge number of mosques in just this bit of Kuala Lumpur.
