Centred busy Arab Street, Kampong Glam is known as Singapore’s Muslim Quarter. Notable landmarks here include the golden domed Sultan Mosque and the Malay Heritage Centre. Clothing boutiques, street art and trendy cafes line Haji Lane.

Kampong Glam is Singapore's Muslim Quarter with the major highlights the Sultan Mosque and Malay Heritage Centre. It's another vibrant neighborhood in Singapore with many shops stocking products of Middle Eastern origin and restaurants offering fare from a variety of countries. The area is mostly pedestrian with vehicular traffic heavily restricted. Haji Lane has a number of boutiques and is renowned as a shoppers paradise..

For the short stay we had in Singapore, we fell in love with kampong glam. It had everything we wanted to experience in a country, in parts heavy with traditional Singaporean Malay culture and some parts more western. Beautiful mosques with amazing Athan ( call to prayer) situated all around kampong glam, which you could hear simultaneously come prayer time. Restaurants at very turn street art of the walls clean sweeped roads well maintained parks. Everything about kampong glam we love. Kampong glam we loved you.

We took the MRT to get to Kampong Glam, Singapore's Muslim Quarter. You cannot miss the prominent Sultan Mosque with its large golden dome. From there, we enjoyed the alleys with so many beautiful shops and large colorful murals. Many buildings have vibrant blue and white paints, or gold and white paints. Lots of textiles to pick from, if you are shopping for them. Watched a guy load up on meats, tower of meats, onto the rotisserie skewer. Getting ready to make gyros for tourists. This is a fabulous place to people watch. We really enjoyed the vibe.

After a hearty meal at Golden Mile Hawker Center, we walked down to Kampong Glam via the alleyway and were able to capture a few photogenic spots. There are many Muslims food stalls and souvenirs shops as you explore the various streets in Kampong Glam. Do not be put off by the back alleys as one could view artistic wall murals therein. It's slowly losing its authentic vibes as more and more shops, F&B march in....

I really like the Kampong Glam district of Singapore with its stunning 200 year old Sultan Mosque, the many eating and drinking establishments, the colourful painted side streets, (Haji Lane is buzzing), and the independent shops and traders. I have visited this area many times and it is great both during the day and at night. At the end of March / early April they have a food festival in this area which is great to visit to sample the various street foods on offer, many of which are Malay. I recommend a visit to anyone spending a couple of days in Singapore.
