Saidina Abu Bakar As Siddiq Mosque
Overview
Located in the Bangsar district of Kuala Lumpur, Saidina Abu Bakar As Siddiq Mosque is an active place of Islamic worship named after the first caliph to succeed the Prophet Muhammad. Travellers visit to see modern Islamic architectural features, courtyard arches, and geometric styling within an established city neighbourhood.

Time to Spend
Allow 30 to 45 minutes on site. This is sufficient to walk the grounds, observe the exterior architecture, and view the main prayer hall from designated visitor areas.
