Continued our journey to Kuala Krai and checked in RZ Gold Hotel, a humble budget hotel with a restaurant on the ground level. Our initial plan was to perform solat terawih at Masjid Jamek Annur Guchil Kuala Krai but it was located in a busy housing area quite far from our hotel.

Instead, we had Iftar and solat terawih at Masjid Tengku Muhamad Faris Petra Kuala Krai, a short walking distance from our hotel. This mosque is originally the Kuala Krai City Mosque with an old building that had been erected in 1938. The original site of this mosque was the site of the old Kuala Krai Zoo, but due to frequent floods, the mosque was later moved to the current site. The old mosque was repaired and renovated.
