Recently I visited Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, its also known as The Jewel of Kuala Lumpur. This tour was part of the Raya Getaway Media Familiarization Trip organized by Tourism Malaysia from 2nd to 5th May, 2021. As you can see this “Mosque in a Garden” appears to be floating on water because of the reflection from the marble floor.

As I entered the huge
main prayer hall I can feel the calmness and serene atmosphere. The spectacular
main prayer hall has magnificent Islamic designs and features with fine workmanship.
The mehrab has inlays of semi-precious stones embedded into carved marble, skillfully
crafted by the descendants of artisans who built the Taj Mahal.

is the intricate wood carvings of flora patterns, according to the guide they
are done by Malaysia’s best woodcarvers adorn the doors, screens, and the
