Kampong Glam, Historical Muslim quarter in Rochor, Singapore
Rows of colorful shophouses line the narrow streets surrounding the Sultan Mosque with its golden domes and tall minarets reaching skyward.
The British East India Company designated this area for Sultan Hussein Shah and Muslim communities after signing a treaty in 1819.
The neighborhood maintains strong connections to Native-Malay heritage through textile shops, traditional restaurants, and religious establishments along Arab Street.
The area connects to two MRT stations, Bugis and Lavender, with multiple bus stops providing easy access to all main attractions.
The Gelam Gallery, located in back alleyways, displays large-scale murals and street art created by local artists throughout the neighborhood.
