The Crystal Mosque


Also known as Masjid Kristal, this mosque is located in Kuala Terengganu. It was built between 2006 and 2008 as part of the RM250 million Taman Tamadun Islam project. Officially opened by the Sultan of Terengganu, the Crystal Mosque is a landmark mosque in Malaysia.


This modern mosque is made mainly of glass (hence the name) and has a capacity of 700 people. It has four minarets and numerous domes of various sizes. The domes are covered with glass which appears to change colour when viewed at different angles. This is the first smart mosque which has been equipped with IT facilities and Wi-Fi coverage.
