The Kuala Lumpur Tower (officially known as Menara Kuala Lumpur; referred later as KL Tower) is a tall tower located in
Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia and was built in
1995. It is used for communication purposes and features an
antenna that reaches 421 m (1,381 ft), which currently makes it the fifth tallest tower in the world. The roof of the pod is at 335 m (1,099 ft). The rest of the tower below has a stairwell and an
elevator to reach the upper area, which also contains a
revolving restaurant, providing diners a beautiful view of the city. Races are organised yearly where participants race up the stairs to the top. The tower also acts as the
Islamic falak observatory to look for the crescent moon to mark the beginning of
Muslim month of
Ramadhan,
Syawal, and
Zulhijjah, to celebrate
fasting month of Ramadhan,
Hari Raya Aidilfitri and
Aidiladha.
