About Masjid Jamek
Arthur Benison Hubback, a British architect with the Public Works Department, designed this mosque of domes and arches in the Mughal style, opened by the Sultan of Selangor in December 1909. It sits on a raised embankment right at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers, the very mud that named the city. The riverbanks gained fountains and colorful lighting through River of Life, a river revitalization project.
To go in, stop at the information desk first. Non-Muslim visitors are given a robe when their clothing doesn't cover enough, and women also get a headscarf. Shoes go on the racks by the door. Visits are suspended during prayers.
