Pura Tanjung Sabtu

Pintu Gerbang located near the jetty by the river

The trip to Pura was excellent!

I have always been fascinated by my heritage and culture and my trip to Pura deepened it.

Tengku Ismail Tengku Su has been working on the restoration for the past 12 years with his very own blood, sweat and tears… and money. The result is just perfect!! Now, it is a royal homestead.

The amazing thing about Pura is you can have a comprehensive Terengganu experience. Apart from meals served are authentic Terengganu cuisine, mostly homemade by the dayangs, you can also check out a vast collection of Tengku Ismail’s family heirlooms and the actual songket weaving activities within the estate. These are the "Rolls Royce" of songket where real gold threads are used. Most of the orders come from the royal palaces. Tengku Ismail even designed a songket kimono for a Japanese aristocrat.

Good news is recently, Pura was nominated to receive the prestigious Aga Khan Foundation award for Architechture.
