This section has everything you need to know if you’re Muslim and visiting Kuala Lumpur for the first time. The Malaysian capital is undeniably a Muslim-friendly holiday destination, as the country’s main religion is Islam – though you’ll also find a multitude of cultures and beliefs such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity.
Food-wise, there are plenty of Halal-certified eateries, quaint cafes, and vibrant street markets in the city centre that are also heavily frequented by the local population. Shopping malls have dedicated prayer rooms (surau), while all guestrooms and suites in hotels have clearly-marked Qiblah markings. Check out our helpful guide of Kuala Lumpur for Muslim travellers.
