Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque

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.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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