About
Mohamed Sultan – the name connotes royalty and religiosity. This district, however, is nothing of the sort, unless God really is a DJ. Mohamed Sultan today is filled with everything (legal) that feeds your desires. The area has an enticing nightlife and is the locus of Singapore 's clubbing scene. These clubs are submerged in a flurry of shop houses; they are caves of modern partying embedded within a traditional façade. As you enter, say hello to the gatekeepers of club worship – also known as the bouncers – and be prepared to have a religiously good time.

History
This district is named after Mohamed Sultan Road, which came into existence around 1898. The area was once a quiet residential district that contained no bars and pubs. The first one was opened in 1992. Thus, Mohamed Sultan's identity as a hotspot for nightlife is a relatively young one. Perhaps the only historical artifact left in Mohamed Sultan is the Hong San See temple, built in 1912.

Residential Areas and Hotels
If you like to live where you party, Mohamed Sultan offers you a range of private property that's mostly high-rise and posh. Buy or rent a place at Park Avenue Residence, Park Avenue Suites or The Pier at Robertson. Hotels in the area include Gallery Hotel and Robertson Quay Hotel.

Business and Shopping
Mohamed Sultan is as busy during the daytime as it is at night. Many companies choose to locate their offices in this district, since it is located in the city centre and provides a picturesque view of the Singapore River. Here you can find the office of Singapore Tyler Print Institute, which publishes the work of visual artists. There are ongoing exhibitions at this office building. Also, Mohamed Sultan is the home of Singapore Repertory Theatre and Theatreworks, another renowned local theatre company. Also, you can find the buildings of United Engineers and Shell House.

Nightlife
