Afa Syafira
★★★★★7 months agoThis museum is sophisticated and cool! Located in Hira Cultural District, great place to visit during your umrah trip that insyaAllah could make your iman grow stronger with the story of Quran revelations. The guide is speaking Indonesia also, so it made us easier to understand the exhibition. However, it would be nice if they added Indo/Malay subtitle for Indonesian and Malaysian visitor.

This museum beautifully presents the legacy of the Holy Quran in a way that is both educational and emotionally moving.
