Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque at night (18 February 2011)
Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque (GPS: 5.28388, 103.17052) is the state mosque of Terengganu. It is popularly known as the Floating Mosque or Masjid Terapung although in reality it does not actually float.
Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque is located along Jalan Batu Buruk at Kuala Ibai, near the mouth of the Ibai River (not the Terengganu River, as erroneously mentioned on other sites). The mosque was the brainchild of the late Sultan Mahmud, the father of the present Sultan of Terengganu, and named after Sultan Mahmud's mother, Tuanku Intan Zaharah, also called Tengku Tengah Zaharah. It occupies a 5-acre site and is reflected on its own man-made lake.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
