History

The TTI Management Sdn Bhd wishes to express its highest gratitude to YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi, the Prime Minister, for it is due to his ideas that this park came into fruition. Taman Tamadun Islam is a priceless gift to the people of Terengganu and an invaluable contribution to the ummah and the mankind. Taman Tamadun Islam reflects Malaysia’s leading role in the Islamic world. In so doing, it provides a strong foundation in outreaching to the rest of the world.

Monuments

The proposal to build a park in Terengganu depicting the glorious Islamic Civilization was the brain-child of the right Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato’ Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi. The task has been given to Terengganu State Economic Development Corporation (TSEDC) to interpret the vision of the Right Honourable Prime Minister on a 22.3ha of land in Pulau Wan Man, Kuala Terengganu.

The Convention Center of Taman Tamadun Islam is the biggest convention hall in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It can accommodate 3000 participants at one time. With the existence of this hall, National and International level of events can be held here at Taman Tamadun Islam.

The Crystal Mosque of Terengganu is the icon of Taman Tamadun Islam and the Kuala Terengganu City – The Waterfront Heritage City. It is considered unique as it is the first and only mosque built from steel and glass, hence the crystal-like image.
