Masjid Jamek Bazaar Location Map

There are henna artists showing off their latest designs and this is a great place to watch them in action as they artistically decorate the hands of many happy ladies.

A prime example is the variety of local foods being offered at very low cost, one of the great things about Malaysia is its cuisine and this market is a great place to start your journey of gastronomical discovery through this good food obsessed country.

The Masjid Jamek Bazaar is an undercover market that offers a variety of products from handbags and T shirts to head scarves and Malay traditional dress.

It is smaller in size than Petaling Street market and although many of the products on sale are very similar, the Masjid Jamek Bazaar differentiates itself by selling more products that are attractive to the local communities with prices to match.

With its central location the Masjid Jamek Bazaar is also within walking distance of many KL tourist attractions,

transport hubs and major shopping outlets such as Merdeka Square, Puduraya bus station and Haniffa (selling silks and

fabrics).

If you enjoy the banter of the barter then you may walk away with some bargain fabrics or textiles but be sure to check the quality as this can differ from store to store.

The best way to get to Masjid Jamek Bazaar is using the LRT with both the Kelana Jaya and Ampang light rail transit lines serving the Masjid Jamek LRT station.

Indeed, the Masjid Jamek mosque is considered a tourist attraction in its own right, with its Moorish features it is the oldest mosque in KL and its architectural design of combining attractive onion shaped domes with miniarets of varying sizes ensures that tourists will be reaching for their cameras.

If you are an avid shopper of shades, shoes, bags and accessories the Masjid Jamek Bazaar should be on your shopping to do list and there is something for your husband as well with sports gear, watches and belts to keep up their interest while you browse the latest designer handbags.

Every Saturday night the adjacent Jalan Tar hosts a night market that is also worthy of a mention because of its huge popularity and large number of stalls selling a diverse selection of products.

Be prepared to haggle with the friendly stall owners of the Masjid Jamek Bazaar and you can surely come away with a bargain and a smile as broad as a KL crescent moon.
