Tas Des
★★★★★2 months agoWas absolutely amazing There are 4 floors with Islamic knowledge & also information abt the clock tower building - which was actually quite fascinating The viewing deck which was our highlight - totally blew our minds🤩 Only snag- even tho it was quiet-they give u only 20mins (on the deck) which is waaaay too less to fully absorb & appreciate everything… Still- highly recommend it Abit Expensive for us- however worth every cent!!

★★★★★6 months agoAmazing museum that connects the cosmology with the Quran. You also get the opportunity to go the observation area where you get an amazing view of the Holy Mosque. I highly recommend as it is a once in a lifetime experience.
