Jalan Esfahan, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Esfahan, Kuala Lumpur (15 June, 2017)


Jalan Esfahan is a minor road in downtown Kuala Lumpur. It is located between Jalan Raja Laut in the west and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in the east.

Jalan Esfahan may have been around since the late 19th century. It was originally known as Straits Road. It is not clear how the road was given that name, probably because it runs through property belonging to the Straits Trading Company. The name was translated to Jalan Selat on 24 April 1980¹. It was named after the Iranian city of Esfahan on 24 June, 1997, in response to the naming of a Kuala Lumpur Street in that city.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
