TOUCHÉ Magazine 

Langkawi Geopark is the Malaysia’s first established geopark with its unique 

feature of 99 islands that formed the legendary Langkawi archipelago. The 

realization of Langkawi Geopark is a testimony to the endless effort from the 

government and related local community to make these islands as premier 

ecotourism destination in South East Asia. Let us experience Langkawi 

Geopark with its 550 million year old Machichang and within a range of more 

than 50 activity providers, retail stores, food outlets, the world-class Langkawi 

Cable Car and the Seven Wells Waterfall. 

Editor's note 

Langkawi was once noted as the cursed island which has hindered its 

development for decades. With the strong support from the authorities 

and local community, Langkawi has transformed into the present day 

modern tourism destination. Our Cover Story for this edition touches on one 

of such transformation that has put Langkawi as the premier ecotourism 

destination in South East Asia. Langkawi Geopark is Malaysia’s first 

established geopark, which defines as a territory encompassing one or 

more sites of scientific importance, not only for geological reasons but also 

by virtue of its archaeological, ecological or cultural value. It is located in 

the far northwestern corner of the Peninsular Malaysia, in the State of 

Kedah and it is unique on its own as it comprises 99 islands that formed the 

legendary Langkawi archipelago. 

Langkawi Geopark is easily accessible by sea from Kuala Perlis, Kuala 

Kedah and Penang Ferry Terminal as well as by air from Kuala Lumpur and 

Penang International Airport. It is also internationally connected from Satun 

Ferry Terminal in Thailand and Singapore International Airport in Singapore. 

Langkawi Geopark Hotel was established as to cater for the growing 

requests on accommodation. The hotel is located at the foothills of 550 

million year old Machichang, offering a glorious window to the region’s first 

geopark from 30 tastefully-decorated superior rooms and suites. Under our 

Friends of Tanco, we have secured a very affordable rate for those who 

are craving for a fresh breath and relaxing atmosphere. There are optional 

tours as well that guest can enjoy such as Eco Package, Nature Package, 

Cable Car Rides and Fun Rides. Do flip over for more information. 

The current issue falls during the Muslim’s holy month – Ramadan Al 

Mubarak and it gives us the great privilege to feature Umrah, a pilgrimage 

to Makkah. Contrary to Hajj, Umrah can be undertaken at any time of the 

year and though it is not compulsory, it is highly recommended to every 

able-bodied Muslims. The peak times of Umrah are the days before, during 

and after the Hajj and during the last ten days of Ramadan. Do flip over to 

our Travel Showcase for your in-depth reading and we do offer Umrah 

Package for 2013 from RM5190.00 with return air ticket from Malaysian 

Airlines. 

Apart from Umrah Package, this issue features several packages for our 

readers to experience, from a Weekend Deal to Cameron Highlands to the 

Honeymoon Special at Aston Bali Beach Resort & Spa. All these packages 

have been crafted as to suit our members and readers’ travelling 

requirements and more packages are on the way of such capacity. 

Since we are going to celebrate several festivals in July till September 2012, 

the Editorial Board and the Member Relations team wish to convey our 

festive greetings to all our valued members and readers. 

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Salam Merdeka and 

Selamat Hari Malaysia…

COVER STORY 

GEOPARKLANGKAWI 

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopark) 

THE INTRODUCTION 

A Geopark is defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization 

(UNESCO) in its UNESCO Geoparks International Network of Geoparks programme as follows: 

A territory encompassing one or more sites of scientific importance, not only for geological 

reasons but also by virtue of its archaeological, ecological or cultural value. 

The Geoparks initiative was launched by UNESCO in response to the perceived need for an international 

initiative that recognizes sites representing an earth science interest. Global Geoparks Network program 

aims at enhancing the value of such sites while at the same time creating employment and promoting 

regional economic development. For the purposes of the program the organization developed the new 

internationally recognized label 'UNESCO Geopark'. The idea of UNESCO is to label up to 500 Geoparks 

worldwide. The UNESCO Geopark Program works in synergy with UNESCO's World Heritage Centre and 

Man and the Biosphere (MAB) World Network of Biosphere Reserves. 

The International Network of Geoparks (INoG) is a UNESCO programme established in 1998. According 

to UNESCO, for a Geopark to qualify in the INoG, it needs to: 

� have a management plan designed to foster socio-economic development that is sustainable (most 

likely to be based on agritourism and geotourism) 

� demonstrate methods for conserving and enhancing geological heritage and provide means for 

teaching geoscientific disciplines and broader environmental issues 

� have joint proposals submitted by public authorities, local communities and private interests acting 

together, which demonstrate the best practices with respect to Earth heritage conservation and its 

integration into sustainable development strategies

GLOBAL GEOPARKS NETWORK 


FORUM 


The Global Geoparks Network (GGN) (also known as the Global Network of National Geoparks) is a UNESCO 

programme established in 1998. Managed under the body’s Ecological and Earth Sciences Division, the GGN 

seeks the promotion and conservation of the planet’s geological heritage, as well as encourages the 

sustainable research and development by the concerned communities. 

THE NETWORK 

COVER STORY 

GEOPARK LANGKAWI 

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopark) 

THE INTRODUCTION 

CONTINUE 

The international network seeks the membership of geological parks, or geoparks—geographical areas 

where geological heritage is the focus of local protection, education and development. 

A set of criteria as established by UNESCO must first be met for a geopark, as nominated by the 

corresponding government, to be included in the GGN: 

� the existence of a management plan designed to foster socio-economic 

development that is sustainable (most likely to be based on agritourism 

and geotourism); 

� demonstrate methods for conserving and enhancing geological heritage 

and provide means for teaching geoscientific disciplines and broader 

environmental issues; 

� joint-proposals submitted by public authorities, local communities and 

private interests acting together, which demonstrate the best practices 

with respect to Earth heritage conservation and its integration into 

sustainable development strategies. 

Criteria satisfaction is evaluated during biennial meetings (every even year) by the Geoparks Committee, 

known as the International Conference on Geoparks, which is also in charge with the periodic review of 

projects related to geological awareness. The first members of the GGN were named during the first 

conference in 2004, and it has continued to grow since then: 

SESSION 

YEAR SITE DATE 

1ST 2004 BEIJING, CHINA JUNE 27–JULY 7 

2ND 2006 BELFAST, UNITED KINGDOM SEPTEMBER 17–21 

3RD 2008 OSNABRÜCK, GERMANY JUNE 22–26 

4TH 2010 LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA APRIL 12–16 

5TH 2012 NAGASAKI, JAPAN MAY 12–15 

The GGN works in close synergy with another project under UNESCO’s Ecological and Earth Sciences 

Division—the Man and Biosphere (MAB) World Network of Biosphere Reserves—to come up with and establish 

different means of sustainable development in promoting the local communities’ relationship with the natural 

environment. 

To date, 58 geoparks from 18 countries have been included in the GGN. It is hoped that 

over 500 Geoparks will eventually be part of the GGN.

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca#History) 

Mecca ; Arabic Makkah, is a city in the Hejaz and the capital of Makkah province in Saudi 

Arabia. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) 

above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every 

year during Hajj period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah. 

As the birthplace of Muhammad and a site of the composition of the Quran, Mecca is regarded as the holiest 

city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory upon all able Muslims. The Hijaz 

was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger 

empires. It was absorbed into Saudi Arabia in 1925. 

In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure. Because of this, Mecca 

has lost many thousand-year-old buildings and archaeological sites. 

Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the 

Hajj. As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the Muslim world, 

although non-Muslims remain prohibited from entering the city.




History 

Islamic tradition attributes the beginning of Mecca to 

Ishmaels descendants. Many Muslims point to the Old 

Testament chapter Psalm 84:3-6 and a mention of a 

pilgrimage at the "Valley of Baca" that Muslims see as 

referring to the mentioning of Mecca as Bakkah in 

Qur'an Surah 3:96. Also the Greek historian Diodorus 

Siculus who flourished between 60 BCE and 30 BCE 

writes about the isolated region of Arabia in his work 

Bibliotheca historica describing a holy shrine that 

Muslims see as referring to the Kaaba at Mecca "And 

a temple has been set-up there, which is very holy 

and exceedingly revered by all Arabians". The 

Ptolemy may have called the city "Macoraba", 

though this identification is controversial. 

Some time in the 5th century CE, the Kaaba was a 

place of worship for the deities of Arabia's pagan 

tribes. Mecca's most important pagan deity was 

Hubal, which had been placed there by the ruling 

Quraysh tribe and remained until the 7th century CE. 

In the 5th century, the Quraysh took control of 

Mecca, and became skilled merchants and traders. 

In the 6th century they joined the lucrative spice 

trade as well, since battles in other parts of the world 

were causing trade routes to divert from the 

dangerous sea routes to the more secure overland 

routes. The Byzantine Empire had previously 

controlled the Red Sea, but piracy had been on the 

increase. Another previous route that ran through the 

Persian Gulf via the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was 

also being threatened by exploitations from the 

Sassanid Empire, as well as being disrupted by the 

Lakhmids, the Ghassanids, and the Roman–Persian 

Wars. Mecca's prominence as a trading center also 

surpassed the cities of Petra and Palmyra.The 

Sassanids however did not always pose a threat to 

Mecca as in 575 CE they actually protected the 

Arabian city from invasion of the Kingdom of Axum, 

led by its Christian leader Abraha. The tribes of the 

southern Arabia, asked the Persian king Khosrau I for 

aid, in response to which he came south to Arabia 

with both foot-soldiers and a fleet of ships into 

Mecca. The Persian intervention prevented 

Christianity from spreading easterward into Arabia, 

and Mecca and the Islamic prophet Muhammad 

who was at the time a six year boy in the Quraysh 

tribe "would not grow up under the cross."] 

By the middle of the 6th century, there were three 

major settlements in northern Arabia, all along the 

south-western coast that borders the Red Sea, in a 

habitable region between the sea and the great 

desert to the east. 


This area, known as the Hejaz, featured three 

settlements grown around oases, where water was 

available. In the center of the Hijaz was Yathrib, later 

renamed Medina, from "Madinatun Nabi", or "City of 

the Prophet." 250 mi (400 km) south of Yathrib was the 

mountain city Ta’if, north-west of which lay Mecca. 

Although the area around Mecca was completely 

barren, it was the wealthiest of the three settlements 

with abundant water via the renowned Zamzam Well 

and a position at the crossroads of major caravan 

routes. 

The harsh conditions and terrain of the Arabian 

peninsula meant a near-constant state of conflict 

between the local tribes, but once a year they would 

declare a truce and converge upon Mecca in an 

annual pilgrimage. Up to the 7th century, this journey 

was intended for religious reasons by the pagan 

Arabs to pay homage to their shrine, and to drink 

from the Zamzam Well. However, it was also the time 

each year that disputes would be arbitrated, debts 

would be resolved, and trading would occur at 

Meccan fairs. These annual events gave the tribes a 

sense of common identity and made Mecca an 

important focus for the peninsula. 

Camel caravans, said to have first been used by 

Muhammad's great-grandfather, were a major part 

of Mecca's bustling economy. Alliances were struck 

between the merchants in Mecca and the local 

nomadic tribes, who would bring goods – leather, 

livestock, and metals mined in the local mountains – 

to Mecca to be loaded on the caravans and carried 

to cities in Syria and Iraq. Historical accounts also 

provide some indication that goods from other 

continents may also have flowed through Mecca. 

Goods from Africa and the Far East passed through 

on route to Syria including spices, leather, medicine, 

cloth, and slaves; in return Mecca received money, 

weapons, cereals and wine, which in turn were 

distributed throughout Arabia. The Meccans signed 

treaties with both the Byzantines and the Bedouins, 

and negotiated safe passages for caravans, giving 

them water and pasture rights. Mecca became the 

center of a loose confederation of client tribes, which 

included those of the Banu Tamim. Other regional 

powers such as the Abyssinian, Ghassan, and Lakhm 

were in decline leaving Meccan trade to be the 

primary binding force in Arabia in the late 6th 

century.

Landmarks 

Mecca houses the Masjid al-Haram, the largest 

mosque in the world. The mosque surrounds the 

Kaaba, which Muslims turn towards while offering 

daily prayer. This mosque is also commonly known as 

the Haram or Grand Mosque. At ramazan 3 million 

people go there and at hajj 20 million go there. 

As mentioned above, because of the Wahhabist 

hostility to reverence being paid to historic and 

religious buildings, Mecca has lost most of its heritage 

in recent years and few buildings from the last 1500 

years have survived Saudi rule. 

Expansion of the city is ongoing and includes the 

construction of 601 m (1,972 ft) tall Abraj Al Bait 

Towers across the street from the Masjid al-Haram. 

The towers are set to be completed in 2012 when 

they will become the 2nd tallest building in the world. 

The construction of the towers involved the 

demolition of the Ajyad Fortress, which in turn sparked 

a dispute between Turkey and Saudi Arabia. 

The Zamzam Well is home to a celebrated water 

spring. The Qishla of Mecca was an Ottoman castle 

facing the Grand Mosque and defending the city 

from attack. However, the Saudi government 

removed the structure to give space for hotels and 

business buildings near to the Grand Mosque. Hira is a 

cave near Mecca, on the mountain named Jabal 

Al-Nūr in the Hejaz region of present day Saudi 

Arabia. It is notable for being the location where 

Muhammad received his first revelations from God 

through the angel Jibreel, also known as Gabriel to 

Christians. 

Cuisine 

As in other Saudi cities Kabsa (a spiced dish of rice 

and meat) is the most traditional lunch but the 

Yemeni mandi (a dish of rice and tandoori cooked 

meat) is also popular. Grilled meat dishes such as 

shawarma (flat-bread meat sandwich), kofta 

(meatballs) and kebab are widely sold in Mecca. 

During Ramadan, fava beans in olive oil and samosas 

are the most popular dishes and are eaten at dusk. 

These dishes are almost always found in Lebanese, 

Syrian, and Turkish restaurants. 

The mixture of different ethnicities and nationalities 

amongst Meccan residents has significantly 

impacted Mecca's traditional cuisine. The city has 

been described as one of the most cosmopolitan 

Islamic cities, with an international cuisine. 

Traditionally during the month of Ramadan, men 

(known as Saggas) provided mineral water and fruit 

juice for Muslims breaking their fast at dusk. Today, 

Saggas make money providing sweets such as 

baklava and basbosa along with fruit juice drinks. 

In the 20th century, many fast-food chains have 

opened franchises in Mecca, catering to locals and 

pilgrims alike. Exotic foods, such as fruits from India 

and Japan, are often brought by the pilgrims 

09 

Pilgrimage 

The Hajj involves pilgrims visiting the Masjid al-Haram, 

but mainly camping and spending time in the plains of 

Mina and Arafah. 

The pilgrimage to Mecca attracts millions of Muslims 

from all over the world. There are two pilgrimages: the 

Hajj, and the Umrah. 

The Hajj, the 'greater' pilgrimage is performed 

annually. Once a year, the Hajj, the greater 

pilgrimage, takes place in Mecca and nearby sites. 

During the Hajj, several million people of varying 

nationalities worship in unison. 

Every adult, healthy, sane Muslim who has the 

financial and physical capacity to travel to Mecca 

and can make arrangements for the care of his/her 

dependants during the trip, must perform the Hajj 

once in a lifetime. 

Umrah, the lesser pilgrimage, is not obligatory, but is 

recommended in the Qur'an.Often, they perform the 

Umrah, the lesser pilgrimage, while visiting the Masjid 

al-Haram




(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umrah) 

The Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time 

of the year. In Arabic, Umrah means "to visit a populated place". In the Sharia, Umrah means to perform Tawaf 

round the Kaaba and Sa'i Al-Safa and al-Marwah, after assuming Ihram (a sacred state), either from a Miqat 

like Zu 'l-Hulafa, Juhfa, Qarnu 'l-Manāzil, Yalamlam, Zāt-i-'Irq, Ibrahīm Mursīa, or a place in Hill. It is sometimes 

called the 'minor pilgrimage' or 'lesser pilgrimage', the Hajj being the 'major' pilgrimage and which is 

compulsory for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. The Umrah is not compulsory but highly 

recommended. 

UMRAH RITUALS 

The pilgrim performs a series of ritual acts symbolic of the lives of Ibrahim (Abraham) and his second wife Hajar, 

and of solidarity with Muslims worldwide. These acts of faith are: 

� Perform a tawaf, which consists of circling the Kaaba seven times in an anticlockwise direction. Men are 

encouraged to do this three times at a hurried pace, followed by four times, more closely, at a leisurely 

pace. 

� Perform a sa'i, which means rapidly walking seven times back and forth between the hills of Safa and 

Marwah. This is a re-enactment of Hajar's frantic search for water. The baby Ishmael cried and hit the 

ground with his foot (some versions of the story say that an angel scraped his foot or the tip of his wing along 

the ground), and water miraculously sprang forth. This source of water is today called the Well of Zamzam. 

� Perform a halq or taqsir, meaning a cutting of the hair. A taqsir is a partial shortening of the hair, whereas a 

halq is a complete shave of the head, except for women, as they cut a little amount of hair instead. 

These rituals complete the Umrah, and the pilgrim can choose to go out of ihram. Although not a part of the 

ritual, most pilgrims drink water from the Well of Zamzam. Various sects of Islam perform these rituals with slightly 

different methods. 

The peak times of pilgrimage are the days before, during and after the Hajj and during the last ten days of 

Ramadan.

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umrah) 

TYPES OF UMRAH 

There are two types of Umrah, 

depending on whether one wishes to 

combine the Umrah with Hajj: al-Umrat 

al-mufradah al-mustaqillah 'an al-Hajj 

(al-Umrat al mufradah) and al-Umrat 

al-mundammah ila al-Hajj (Umrat 

al-tammatu).al-Umrat al mufradah refers 

to Umrah that is performed 

independently of Hajj. 

Umrat al-tammatu refers to Umrah that is 

performed in conjunction with Hajj. More 

precisely, the rituals of the Umrah are 

performed first and then the Hajj rituals 

are performed. 

Editor’s Note 

July is the starting month of Ramadan for 

2012, where Muslims normally target to 

perform the umrah during it last ten 

days. However, as mentioned in the 

above article, umrah can be performed 

at any time of the year, hence please 

find our Umrah Packages for your kind 

perusal. Further information on the
