What Can Kuala Ibai Offer To You?

Places Of Interest

Remember the first traffic light after the Bridge of Sungai Ibai?

From there, turn right and you will find a beautiful Moorish style Mosque painted in white. This mosque is well known as "Masjid Terapung" or Floating Mosque....a picturesque and attracted building, worthwhile to be visited if you are a Muslim. But non-Muslims are also welcomed to visit this Mosque.

Next, drive further up to the Recreational Park beside the River of Ibai. Park your car at the free parking lots area, get out of the car and have fresh air from the South China Sea. You may come here the next day for jogging or walking around the park. But don't go there on Fridays or Saturdays if you want privacy.

Now you can check in into the 3 stars resorts just beside the exit of the Park. The place is known as Terengganu Equestrian Resorts (TER). This Resorts has indoor and outdoor games or sports facilities. You may choose to play bowling, snooker, table tennis, badminton, or have something more tough and challenging such as canoeing, football or perhaps jet skiing in Ibai Lagoon.

If the food offered by TER does not serve your taste, try to go back to the first traffic light that I have told you before. Not far from the traffic light, you will see restaurants and food stalls lining up beside the trunk road.  You will have plenty of choices to choose the food for your meals or lunch or dinner. Try to taste local favorites such as "nasi dagang", "nasi kerabu", "nasi minyak", "nasi kuning", "pulut kuning" or satay. You might be happy with any of those stuffs.

What else?

Are you a golfer?

If you are a golfer, go to the first traffic light, and from TER drive straight for about 3/4 km. You will see a sign board directing you to the 18 holes golf course known as Ibai Golf Course and Resort. Though not internationally well known, the Course is one of the best in the State of Terengganu.

Now, we can sneak into the village. Let us see how the "keropok ikan" or fish cracker is made here. Try to create your own keropok with the help of the villagers. You find it very interesting.

Within walking distance from TER and the traffic light, you may visit a traditional batik printing or chanting. Watch how an artist draws and designs the batik on live action....I will teach you how to produce a batik ware in next posting.

You will also have an opportunity to see how our traditional "songket" is made. Watch their skills and perhaps give your touch to that skills too.

Amazing isn't it....for a small sub-district like my kampung, Kuala Ibai. You can't finish the visit by one day...

Welcome to Kuala Ibai.
