As the sun goes down, Pahang’s nightlife often revs up-not as rowdy as the after-dark scene in Thailand or as calm as the no-alcohol nighttime offerings in Brunei, Pahang lies between these two groups somehow.

Operation hour: everyday 6am – 11pm

A grand structure, built using only iron, glass and crystals, which costs USD 80 million. Crystal Mosque has its own uniqueness so it is called one of the most beautiful mosques in Terengganu which is located next to the Terengganu River.
