Jamek Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak River and was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback. Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur states that all activities inside the mosque would be stopped and the site of the mosque are closed for safety reasons. The Sultan of Selangor officially opened the mosque in 1909, two years after construction was completed
Across the Gombak River stands the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a building that was designed by the same architect and shares a similar style. Nearby is the Masjid Jamek LRT station that is served by the Kelana Jaya Line, Sri Petaling Line and Ampang Line. The station is located between Chinatown and Little India; Dataran Merdeka is also nearby
