RETREAT THEME

Exploring the Theme:

Faith, Love & Elevation

Servanthood

In trying to be everything, have we forgotten what it means to simply be a servant?

Trust

If the heart panics when the plan is disrupted, was it ever trusting the Planner?

Reliance

When the outcome contradicts the effort, what does the soul truly lean on —results, or the One who writes them?

Gratitude

Can a heart still praise when the gift is delayed — or denied?

Love

If love is shown through presence, how much of our day is truly for Allah?

Why Choose MTC?

Most travel agencies impress you with all the exclusive packages they offer, the great deals you’ll find. We have those too.

But we want you to choose us because you love what we do – so let us first tell you what we’re not. 

Not just a holiday.<br>A spiritual retreat. ​

Not just a holiday.
A spiritual retreat. ​

We’ll have lots of fun (it’s a promise!). But every experience with MTC is lovingly designed as a spiritual retreat. This means that we’ve planned a journey that leaves your heart, mind and soul fully refreshed after your trip.
Not just a travel agency.<br>A local guide. ​

Not just a travel agency.
A local guide. ​

We don’t just bring you to places. We engage local guides able to go deeper, tell hidden stories and help you fall in love with each new place.
Not just a travel group.<br>A community. ​

Not just a travel group.
A community. ​

When you travel with us, you’re part of something bigger. The trip might end when we reach home but our journeys to seek meaning in our lives continue. Make new friends or grow closer to those you already love. 
Not just experiences & memories.<br>Your unique reflections.

Not just experiences & memories.
Your unique reflections.

You’ll see so much - both planned and unplanned - on any trip. Nothing is by chance…but what lessons and insights lie within every interaction and experience we go through? Our warm and well-trained asatizah guides will help you uncover this for yourself through the process of tarbiyyah, or spiritual development. At your own time, in your own way.

I joined MTC for trip to Kashmir (Spiritual retreat - Serenity in the snow) with my cousin and other solo muslimah travellers and i couldn't be more grateful that it exceeded my expectations in so many ways. It definitely changed my whole perceptions about how tour groups are marketed. The number of pax were just nice and we ladies bonded spiritually through the halaqah sessions lead by a great asatizah.

Big thanks to Diyanah for accommodating to us the entire trip and making sure we were ok the whole time! Highly recommended for solo travellers (ladies) or group of girlfriends to join MTC in their upcoming trips because it will be an unforgettable experience. Definitely a retreat for the soul! 🙂

My first retreat with MTC was in Sept-Oct ‘24 where we went to Jordan-Aqsa! This trip was truly an eye opener! My intention was really to reconnect with Allah as I felt I’ve been away from him and I did! The heartfelt gatherings we had after our subuh prayer at Al-Aqsa was really so beautifu! The experience I had with the local people was something else, never seen a community who is so welcoming, so kind hearted just MasyaAllah! Every steps I take in Aqsa, it felt as though I’m with the prophets 😭
We also went to Wadi Rum where we learned about astronomy from Ustaz Haziq, our very own local asatizah. I really enjoyed the outdoor teaching. & saw many shooting stars too 💫 The bond that we shared during this trip was really unforgettable! Really appreciate Ms. Diyanah & Ustaz Nash for all the hard work that has been put into, making sure it runs smoothly! Also really thankful for Ms. Diyanah for making such platform for like-minded people that is seeking for knowledge & Allah’s pleasure easy! Went to this trip alone but came back with beautiful people attached closed to my heart ❤️

I went on the Jordan - Aqsa trip in January this year. It was truly the one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Alhamdulillah. It was my first time with MTC but it definitely won’t be the last, In Shaa Allah. It is such an attractive travel agency for solo female(or male) travelers and for those who seek to enhance their spiritual journeys by seeing the beauty in going to new places. MTC is organized in coordinating the activities, showing deep knowledge of each place, with excellent communication, they were also accommodating to the individuals’ preferences and needs! This trip personally is one I’ll remember and cherish forever. I came back from this trip feeling inspired by the things I’ve learnt and experienced. I also loved the small group size and the amazing ladies I met there. Thank you MTC!

I had the best time with MTC as a solo traveller. It has brought me closer to my faith as a muslim and that the entire journey was guided with an experienced tour guide and knowledgeable Ustaz/Ustazah. It was definitely a memorable trip as the sisterhood didn’t end after the trip.

Went for the Jordan + Aqsa trip in Jan 2025 and it was a good start to the year. Thank you MTC for being a huge contributor to kicking off my year well. May you be rewarded tremendously.

Big thanks to Diyanah for accommodating the entire trip and making it a seamless and comfortable one! Highly recommended for solo travellers (ladies) to join MTC in their upcoming trips because it will be an unforgettable experience. Being surrounded by ladies with same interests in appreciating the beauty in Islam, what more can I ask for :’)

I went for the Prophetic Dua retreat in Janda Baik. Thank you Diyanah, Ustazah Wan Nadia and MTC for providing such retreats; it was what I realised I've needed all this while without knowing it, until I went for it. Reflection sessions were well thought out and learning circles were meaningful and insightful. So much was shared over just 3 days 2 nights! Looking forward to more in the future insyaAllah

I was one of the participants for the Seerah Retreat. It was well organised and the organisers had mapped the journey to ensure the participants get the maximum benefit. The nuggets of knowledge are truly priceless and help us to see the seerah in different perspective. which helps us to apply the knowledge in our daily lives. Thank you sisters
I went for my first retreat with MTC in September at Selangor. It was my first trip alone and I don’t travel much. Yet, the MTC organisers (Sis Diyanah, Nusaibah and Aisyah) took care of me very well and the whole trip, to and fro, was smooth.

I was roomed with sisters of my demographic who were working professionals. We immediately clicked and bonded.

The whole trip was a blessing. We started the days with solat sunat, solat subuh jemaah, morning adzkar and shared reflections. Then for the rest of the day and night were halaqahs about the Seerah of the Prophet s.a.w. It inspired me to relearn the Seerah but take my time and try to understand the Seerah through empathy for the Prophet s.a.w. The venue is such a great place to slow down and enjoy nature, away from the fast paced living in Singapore.

Overall, MTC has made me change the way I see travelling as not just taking pictures in front of scenic landscapes but that travelling can be more intentional and meaningful.
