Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque, Islamic mosque at Klang River confluence, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The mosque features three white onion-shaped domes, twin 27-meter minarets, and intricate Mughal architectural elements constructed with brick and plaster materials.

Built in 1909 by British architect AB Hubback, this structure marks the first brick mosque in Malaysia and served as Kuala Lumpur's main Islamic center until 1965.

The mosque stands at the meeting point of Klang and Gombak rivers, where Kuala Lumpur originated, representing the foundation of the city's Islamic heritage.

Visitors can access the mosque daily from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM, with provided robes for appropriate dress requirements.

The mosque grounds contain preserved headstones from the original Muslim cemetery that occupied the site before construction began in 1908.
