Kuala Lumpur Things to Do Tips by renata77

the easiest way to get there is to take star LRT to masjid jamek.
it is very picturesque , set in a grove of palm trees.,with pink brick walls and arched colonnades.the mosque was designed by Hubbock and adapted from a moghul mosque in north india.
a dress code is strict :-) remove your shoes and you will need a robe and a scarf to cover yourself.
it is provided free of charge by the entrance.
