Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque, Terengganu, Malaysia
The Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah (Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque) is also known as the "The Floating Mosque of the East" due to its unique design that creates an illusion of itself as floating on water. Named after one of the matriach in the Terengganu royal house, the mosque was designed by YM Raja Bahrin, a well known Malaysian architect who himself come from the Terengganu royal house. The mosque is undoubtfully the most recogniseable landmark for Kuala Terengganu or even the state of Terengganu itself. It is located in the outskirts of Kuala Terengganu, on a lagoon by the mouth of Sungai Ibai that cleverly gives an illusion that it is floating on the water - the first ever of its kind in Malaysia before similar concept was adopted by Masjid Putra in Putrajaya. At night, the floating affect of the mosque looks even more interesting as the mosque will be brightly lighted and you can see its reflection on the water.
