Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque 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.
