Family Fun at Taman Tamadun Islam, Terengganu (a.k.a. the Islamic Civilization Park, Malaysia)


The Badshahi Mosque of Pakistan with Palestine's Dome of the Rock in the back at Taman Tamadun Islam Terengganu, Malaysia located on Pulau Wan Man Island in Kuala Terengganu

Our second time at the Taman Tamadun Islam in Kuala Terengganu, we managed to see all 22 monuments this time and truly enjoyed the tour, riding in the rented buggy driven by the park’s staff. The girls, especially Adra, actually enjoyed learning about old Islamic monuments and each featured country’s culture and history. And since some of these monuments no longer exist in their original form – some destroyed by war in the Middle East both in modern and olden times, visiting these structures here might be the only time you can pose with these architectural wonders.

This New Hotel Looks Haunted… And We’d Love To Stay Here!

Hotel 1898 The Post

The Zannier Hotels group specializes in luxury boutique hotels with a uniqueness at each of their establishments, and their latest addition, in Ghent, Belgium called 1898 The Post – yes, that is the name of the hotel – is named as such because it is housed in a former Post Office that had its building plans finalized in 1898 by the architect Louis Cloquet.
