The Penang Floating Mosque, officially known as Masjid Terapung Tanjong Bungah, is an architectural marvel perched on the shoreline.

Visitors can admire the mosque's elegant design, featuring minarets and domes, and enjoy the peaceful interior. The surrounding promenade offers panoramic ocean views, especially captivating at sunset. Non-Muslims are welcome to visit outside prayer times, respecting the dress code and customs.
