In the main building of the craft complex is the batik showroom with numerous products of batik including menswear and womenswear, accessories, and souvenirs. On the ground floor is a factory outlet centre where shoppers can grab branded items on stock over runs at factory prices.

Noor Arfa is the best known brand of batik in Malaysia. The business began in 1980 when the husband-and-wife team of Wan Mohd Ariffin and Noor Hijerah began designing and selling their own hand-drawn batik products. They soon came up with the name Noor Arfa, a portmanteau of their two names.

Today Noor Arfa batik factory occupies a 2.5-acre site in the Chenderung Industrial Area in southern Kuala Terengganu. Attached to the factory is the craft complex, which has the largest batik showroom in the country.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
