3 days in Kota Bharu Itinerary

Known as ‘The Islamic City’, Kota Bharu offers a fine architectural mix of dignified mosques and old royal buildings.

Get a sense of the local culture at Istana Jahar and War Museum. Handicraft Village and Craft Museum, Kelantan and Kelantan State Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Go for a jaunt from Kota Bharu to Kuala Besut to see Scuba & Snorkeling about 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Pantai Cahaya Bulan, step off the mainland to explore Perhentian Islands, and browse the eclectic array of goods at Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah.
