Where the concierge points people first
Masjid Sultan Singapore — The Sultan Mosque, the gold-domed landmark at the top of Bussorah Street in Kampong Glam and a national monument. Robes are lent at the entrance, and the surrounding streets are the best Malay and Middle Eastern food in the city. (1.3023, 103.8592)
Masjid Hajjah Fatimah — On Beach Road, built in the 1840s and named after the Malaccan businesswoman who paid for it. Its minaret tilts a few degrees off true, which has earned it the nickname of Singapore's leaning tower. (1.3029, 103.8629)
Jamae Mosque — In the middle of Chinatown on South Bridge Road, built by Tamil Muslim traders in the 1820s, a few doors from the Sri Mariamman Temple — two faiths' oldest houses of worship side by side. (1.2832, 103.8455)
Masjid Abdul Gafoor — On Dunlop Street in Little India, finished in the early 1900s, with a sundial over the entrance ringed by the names of the prophets in Arabic calligraphy. (1.3044, 103.8537)

Visitors are welcome outside prayer times
Singapore's historic mosques welcome visitors outside prayer times. Cover arms and legs, and women should cover their hair; Masjid Sultan lends robes at the door. Shoes come off before you go in, and the prayer hall itself may be closed to non-Muslims. Friday midday prayers are the busiest time of the week and the wrong moment to visit, so go in the morning or mid-afternoon on another day. During Ramadan, the streets around Masjid Sultan fill with an evening bazaar.
