Arrived at Sumai Hotel & Apartment in Kuala Terengganu around 11.30 am. The receptionist managed to get us a room before check-in time. Dear hubby performed Friday prayers at Masjid Al Muktafi Billah Shah, a short walking distance from our hotel. I performed my prayers in the room and rested the whole afternoon.

Drove to Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah, the floating mosque for iftar and solat terawih. The mosque is the first real floating mosque in Malaysia. It is situated in Kuala Ibai Lagoon near the estuary of Kuala Ibai River, 4 km from Kuala Terengganu Town. The mosque was constructed in 1993 and completed in 1995. There was a Pasar Ramadhan nearby and a recreational area at the lagoon. It was a full house tonight as it was a weekend holiday.
