TTI Monument Park provides its visitors with a unique experience. Featuring 21 great Islamic monuments that reminisces the rise of Islam into a sophisticated global religion.TTI was the wide, clean and pure place and most of monuments were replicas mosques from all over the world. So it attracted many Muslims to visit there. Visiting only TTI monument park seemed ever been to many foreign countries because we could see the mosques which was representative of the countries. The imitation mosques totally looked like the original one.
As my first visit TTI on the second day of Terengganu trip at 30/10/10, it was very nice and interesting place that I never seen before. It was the main visiting place of Terengganu trip and we stayed there for a half of day. The environment there was so natural. It lined with the deep green of lush trees and plants and surrounded with various styles of replicas mosque. But the weather on that day was rainy. As soon as we arrived there, a smiling Malaysian officer welcomed and gave ticket to us. We stood in line to stamp passport for entering in TTI Monument Park. After entering there, the first place that we view was Masjid Nagara. Its main roof is reminiscent of an open royal parasol. Before viewing it, we were invited to enter in the screening room for seeing video showing about this mosque. In the screening room of this mosque was dark and narrow .There were red chairs arrangement in line, together with slide in front amidst the cold air. After seeing video we took a few photographs in front of its roof. This view was same as we raised an umbrella among the rain. For a moment, the guide called us to move to Taj mahal mosque. We moved to each places by mini train which was a long red wooden car. The Taj Mahal mosque was white that was pure color. This large, white marble structure stands on a square plinth. It surprised me very much. Then we rush to the second floor of this replicas mosque and took photos among the drizzle rain.
At the Dome of the rock, we also saw video before seeing the mosque. Next to the video room there was a room that shows the architecture and replicas picture of the dome of the rock showing in the clear mirror. The interior views of the “Dome of the Rock” replica were also made to look as its original. The Dome of the Rock replica was the only monument replica here built big enough for people to enter inside it. Inside of it had foundation Stone at the center and surrounded with wooden wall. It was dark room but was shined by light and decorated with colorful arts at the wall. Outside the mosque, we could see the shine of the dome that reflected with the sun. It was so beautiful view. Next, the guide led us to Al-haram mosque, Mosque of muhammed Ali, Nabawi mosque. At the mosque of Muhammad Ali, many of us pass through under the small pillar for taking photographs. Then, we walked around to see the Kalyan Minaret, Great Mosque of agadez and walked pass sharif Mosque which was blue dome. This blue dome was one of the beautiful mosques for me.
After seeing all replicas mosque, we went to the gift shops for buying some souvenirs. Then, the guide led us to restaurant, and we had lunch on the bridge among the long river. Beside the bridge there was crystal mosque that I really was amazed. The mosque was built on the Terengganu River. Steel and glasses are being used for the construction of this mosque. The crystal of the domes glitters together in the sunlight. This was the first smart mosque for me. I walked through the board bridge to the crystal mosque for praying and sightseeing. Seeing it nearby was so nice and amazing place that attracted me to come again on the next time. My friends and I took many photographs there for good remembrance experience.
