Meeting at the intersection. That phrase is connects the two rivers, the Klang and Gombak, in Kuala Lumpur. Between these rivers stand a very large mosque with its own unique design. As you can see, this is one of the mosques whose history coincides with the formation of Kuala Lumpur itself.

This mosque design by a British Army officer and a very renowned architect of that era in Malaysia, so it's clear that the design of this mosque is nothing short of beautiful. I am so excited to hre now...

Overall, there are some new additions, such as the umbrellas on the front, which we can known are similar to those find in the mosques of Mecca and Medina. However, the main building retains its original design.

What amazes me is that this mosque even Malaysia's independence. This is what makes it a popular international tourist destination. In fact, I see many non-Muslims stopping here, curious about one of Kuala Lumpur's landmarks, and is absoluttely free enrty free tickets.

One of the reasons tourists stop here is because of its easy access from the MRT line. You can get off right in front of the Gombak MRT gate and not far from there, you cab find this mosque right in front of it. Make sure you exit the wrong gate, or you won't end up in another location.

This mosque has the advantage of an open space, so there's no need for air conditioning cause the breeze come in from everywhere entry gap, from all directions, make it cool and comfortable. The tiles are also very cool to the touch, as the mosque, despite its simple appearance, is made of high quality materials. That's why it remains stunning.


See you the next time hive friends!
