    Was 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!!

    Amazing 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.
