Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah

“This mosque is among the first floating mosques ever built in Malaysia. Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah at Kuala Ibai district of Kuala Terengganu may have captivated mainly by its setting and composition using postmodern architecture that has been successfully depicted in a traditional mosque architectural design. The mosque floats above the lagoon of the Ibai River and is located near the Kuala Ibai River estuary featured the infusion of Arabian, Moorish and Mamluk architecture. It is a part of the Kuala Ibai Lagoon Public Park, bordering an equestrian resort and the white sandy beach facing the panoramic South China Sea.

Completed in 1994, the building of the mosque was spurred by the former Sultan of Terengganu, Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah Al-Haj and named after his mother, Tengku Intan Zaharah, the former Sultanah of Terengganu. Since then it has become a major attraction in Terengganu, as it is considered a major landmark of the state. ”
