Must-see attractions

Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah

Kuala Terengganu

　　The most famous religious structure in the state is the Floating Mosque, located 4.5km southeast of Kuala Terengganu.

Kompleks Muzium Negeri Terengganu

Kuala Terengganu

　　Located around 6km west of the city centre, the traditional houses that front the museum's spacious grounds are worth the price of admission. Exhibits range from the historically interesting (a Jawi – traditional Malay text – inscription that essentially dates the arrival of Islam to the nation) to threadbare taxidermy....

Fishing boats are built here, using mostly age-old techniques and tools, and visitors are...
