- mostoHong Kong, China3,006 contributionsCompletely wonderful experienceI’m so glad we chose this place as our first stop in our family trip to tour Selangor. It is absolutely highly recommended! Firstly, ladies must be covered before entering the mosque and they will provide attire if you are not prepared. All shoes must be removed before entering the mosque too. There’s a complimentary guide who will take you in the tour for your group - no need to book. We had a very good lady guide named Fatin who we spent 3 hours with as we had lots of questions about the mosque, religion, practices and beliefs. She did an excellent job to make our visit memorable.Visited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten July 30, 2023
- Jackie EAuckland, New Zealand73 contributionsWorth a visit and free tourFirst time visiting a mosque. Men need to have shoulders and knees covered. Women also need to have hair covered. They provide robes etc free. Tours are free and run by volunteers who are passionate about sharing their religion. Interesting tour. We missed the prayers - would recommend timing your visit for these at 130pm. Beautiful mosqueVisited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 21, 2023
- LOAN PHẠMHo Chi Minh City, Vietnam6 contributionsGreat ExperienceThis place is very large and the architecture is very beautiful. When you come, there will be staff who will provide you with clothes and headscarf. There will be a guide to introduce you to this place. They speak very clearly and so friendly. They also show you shooting locations and help you take your pictures. And everything is free. So, Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan is a great place and is a place worth visiting.Visited December 2023Traveled with friendsWritten December 28, 2023
- Anya18 contributionsDefinitely a to-do item!Having never really been to a mosque before, this was a wonderful experience. We were given robes and headscarves on arrival and taken on a tour by Othman who was amazing. The standard time for the tour is about 45 mins but as we had questions and were able to see noon prayer we spent about 3 hours here. Othman was able to answer all of our questions and was really lovely. The mosque itself is beautiful and well worth a visit.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 22, 2024

Kuala Lumpur is home to some of the world’s beautiful mosques, with the likes of Masjid Jamek, dating back to early 1900. The stand out among them is Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, the Federal Territory Mosque, a modern marvel of Islamic architecture, set on a 5 hectare site near the Federal Government Complex off Jalan Duta, in the Segambut district.
Officially opened in October 2000, the grand mosque can accommodate 17,000 worshipers.
The design is a blend of Malay, Ottoman, Moorish and Iranian architectural styles. Its beautiful arch is decorated with woodcarving from Kelantan and Terengganu, as are the three elegant carved main wooden doors and the Minbar, the pulpit platform from top of which the Imam delivers the Friday sermon.
You’ll be mesmerised by the breathtaking Mehrab, a semi-circular wall that indicates the direction of Mecca, which has inlays of semi-precious stones embedded into carved marble. These glitter when lit during prayers.
Inspired by Istanbul’s Blue Mosque and Iran’s Masjid Imam, in Isfahan, the turquoise-glazed tiles cover its 22 domes offering truly breathtaking views when fully lit at night.
Visitors of all faiths are welcome for conducted tours, but avoid prayer times and call ahead to book. The mosque is a short taxi ride from the Sentral Station.
At the bottom of the mosque’s landscaped lush gardens are stairs leading down to stalls selling delicacies for lunch. Food lovingly cooked by locals who feed the Jummah (Friday) worshippers for next to nothing. Please note these outlets may not be operating during April, the current fasting month of Ramadan.
We got there on the last Friday before Ramadan and loved the food, particularly from stall Lot 1 (BAS), run by Noor Iman bin Abdul Rahim and his generous family. His mother Zubaida, a very humble lady, is still working and helped us choose from the wide selection. The home-cooked beef curry flavoured with herbs and spices, fried chicken and biryani are mouth-wateringly delicious.
The family also run BAS - Batu Arang Station, a Malay cafe/restaurant at Rawang, about 20 km from the city centre.

As a non Muslim , the visit to this magnificently beautiful mosque gave me the first hand information on the Islamic culture. The friendly caretaker, despite being busy, took great attention to answer my queries on the proceedings of the praying etc. Overall it was an enjoyable and fascinating experience for me.

The most beautiful mosque in KL, I recommend everyone to visit it. There's also a lot of monkeys running around in the afternoon on the right side of the main gate.

Is there dress code for the female traveller to enter the mosque. As I’m interested for the tour and to get to know more about this mosque and the history of Islam

Yes, please dress modestly - long dress and a head scarf. The visitors centre provides these necessary items if you haven't got them on. They are very helpful and the tour is thorough (in English). They will answer any questions on the mosque and Islam. You will even be given complimentary booklets on Islam and the Mosque. Hope this info is helpful. Please read my review for further details.

Robes are provided but as a matter of personal choice women may want to take their own headscarf even if only to wear under the one provided. If I was a woman I would.
Not being a woman I do not take any notice as to if their is any signage stating that Menstruating women are not allowed to enter any Mosque, every Muslim woman knows this and I am sure there must be a sign but something to be aware of.
Hope this helps
