About Prayer Times in Kuala Lumpur

The city is home to the iconic Masjid Negara (National Mosque), which can accommodate 15,000 worshippers, and the Masjid Jamek at the confluence of two rivers. Because Kuala Lumpur sits near the equator (3°N latitude), prayer times remain remarkably consistent throughout the year — Fajr is usually between 5:30 and 6:00 AM and Maghrib around 7:00 to 7:30 PM, with only minor seasonal variation.
