Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's federal capital and largest city, located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers on the Malay Peninsula. The city arose in the mid-19th century as a settlement for tin miners; its name literally means "muddy river confluence," referring to the meeting point of the two rivers.

The Petronas Twin Towers dominate the skyline — the tallest buildings in the world when opened in 1998 — rising 452 meters above the green KLCC Park. The city reflects its unique cultural diversity through Hindu temples like Batu Caves, Chinese temples, and historic mosques such as Masjid Jamek.
