Kampong Gelam Travel Info

The Sultan Mosque lords it over Bussorah Street

A walk through Kampong Gelam, with its exotically-named rabbit-warren of streets with names such as Kandahar Street, Muscat Street, Bagdad Street, Arab Street and Haji Lane, reveals some of Singapore’s most hidden secrets.

It is well worth exploring some of the shops in Bussorah Street (named after Basra, in Iraq),  including the Malay Art Gallery, also known as the “House of Kris” (the kris is an elaborately embellished Malay metal dagger).
