Masjid Jamek of Kuala Lumpur is located at the confluence where the Gombak river flows into the Klang river. With its coconut palms and curved steps leading to the water's edge, it is a picture of peace and tranquility set against the background of a busy and modern Kuala Lumpur. This oldest surviving mosque in the city was officially opened on 23 December, 1909 by Sultan Sir Alauddin Sulaiman Shah (then Sultan of Selangor).
