Continued from Masjid (Mosque of) Haji Nik Omar, Kampung Senang.
Dari masjid kami menyusuri lagi Jalan Sultan Omar lagi 1-2 km kalau tak salah ingatan sebelum membelok kanan masuk ke satu lorong kecil. Menyusuri lorong itu kami dapat melihat sekurang-kurangnya 4 papantanda menunjukkan arah ke makan Sultan Omar.
From the mosque we followed again Jalan (street of) Sultan Omar for another 1-2 km if I remember correctly before turning right into an alley. Following the alley we could see at least 4 signages showing the direction to the tomb of Sultan Omar.

This is the tomb in question.

Still strangely most references I found on the Internet mentioned this as the tomb of Raja Ekor, not Sultan Omar.

For information Raja Ekor is the calling name for Raja Bahar who is said to have ruled Kelantan from Jembal after the passing away of Raja Loyor (look at Makam (Tomb of) Raja Loyor). Sultan Omar in turn was often called as Raja Udang. He is said to have ruled Kelantan after the death of Raja Bahar 1675 AD.
Selain menyebut ini sebagai makam Raja Ekor @ Raja Bahar, kebanyakan rujukan yang saya temui menyebut makam Sultan Omar terletak di pekan Kedai Lalat. Lihat Makam (Tomb of) Raja Udang?. Kalau begitu kenapa semua papantanda di sini menyebut makam ini pula yang milik Sultan Omar?
Apart from mentioning this as the tomb of Raja Ekor @ Raja Bahar most references I found mentioned the tomb of Sultan Omar as being located at the small town of Kedai Lalat. Look at Makam (Tomb of) Raja Udang?. If that is the case why do all the signages here in turn mentioned this tomb as belonging to Sultan Omar?

If this one is the tomb of Sultan Omar, then the one at Kedai Lalat has to be the tomb of Raja Ekor @ Raja Bahar. Whatever, Sultan Omar and Raja Bahar are brothers to Raja Loyor. They are all said to be the sons of Raja Sakti, founder of the dynasty of Kelantan kings who ruled from Jembal.

This in turn is the tomb besides. Maybe the tomb of the queen? For information this is the 636th article in this blogspot.
