The charm of Kampong Glam neighborhood, Muscat Street Art must-visit

This set of photos was taken on Muscat Street near Masjid Sultan (Sultan Mosque) in the Kampong Glam area.
This neighborhood holds great cultural and historical significance, especially for the Malay and Muslim communities in Singapore.
The importance of this place:
#KampongGlam was once the residential area of the Malay Sultan and the Muslim community.
#It features a harmonious blend of Malay-Arab-Persian art, culture, and lifestyle.
(Masjid Sultan) is a key landmark, beautiful and the center of the Muslim community in Singapore.

Little tips
#The street art corner is on the green wall along Muscat St, best to shoot in the morning or after rain for vibrant colors 📸 (we took ours in the morning)
#If you want to enter the mosque, you must remove your shoes and dress modestly (cover cloths are available to borrow)
#Walk 150 m further to Haji Lane to find hip cafes and plenty of local design shops
Personally, I really like Kampong Glam. There are many photo spots. I love the shops selling decorative lamps and Arab rugs.
