Top 10 Capitals of Islamic Culture: From Kuala Lumpur & Singapore to Jakarta & Dhaka

Discover more about 10 of Islamic culture which made a great contribution to the Islamic world and beyond.

Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is a majestic combination of the mysterious, spiritual East, and pragmatic, technology-driven West. Skyscrapers made almost entirely out of glass and concrete stand side by side with ancient temples. Kuala Lumpur is the second most developed city in Asia, right after Singapore. It’s known to be the “green and clean” capital of Asia, so don’t even think about littering on the streets! Unless you want to say goodbye to all of your money.

Jakarta
Jakarta is actually a province, not just a single city, but it still has all the authorities of a capital city. It’s the most densely populated city in South-Eastern Asia, with 10 million people living there. Sometimes people call Jakarta “Big Durian”, similarly to New York’s “Big Apple” title.
