THE ADVENTURE IN PEKAN, PAHANG, BEGAN

   15TH SEPTEMBER 2025    ~ After the buffet breakfast at Megaview Hotel [READ HERE], my two [UPM TESL Class of 1993] friends, Puan Suriana Ali and Puan Aunillah Hilmi, were so ready to take me on an excursion to the Royal Town of Pahang, Pekan.

The first stop was the Royal Mausoleum which was located in the town centre. The building housed four royal tombs [if I remember correctly]. When we arrived, there was a staff from the Religious Department reciting the holy Qur'an. Unfortunately, visitors were not allowed to take photos inside.

The building was fully air-conditioned but we could only stay for a short while. after listening to some information given by the person on duty.

Right beside the Royal Mausoleum, stood a mosque: Masjid Sultan Ahmad Shah. Since we were already there, I took the opportunity to walk around the holy building. I could not get the information on the history of the mosque but it looked quite old.

Before moving to the next attraction, the three of us went to get some photos taken by the Pahang River. We were the only tourists at that spot at that very moment. The view of the river was great but some work needed to be done for that place so it could look more attractive.
