★★★★★2 months agoWhen we were wandering in the clock tower we came across this place & booked the tour. We didn’t expect much. But really worth it. The tour guide explained us very well. The whole tour was 1 hour & she was able to explain everything clear within that time. We are able to see a replica of the Prophet’s mimbar. Also saw videos of replicas of prophet’s houses & the early days Kahba. Although the ticket price is expensive it’s really worthwhile. We were told not to take any photographs during the exhibition.

★★★★★2 weeks agoVisiting the Prophet’s Museum at the Zamzam Tower was one of the most memorable experiences in Makkah. Through immersive visuals and interactive exhibits, it beautifully brings the life and legacy of Prophet Muhammad to life in a way that is both educational and deeply moving. It’s more than just a museum it’s a journey that strengthens your understanding, appreciation, and love for the Prophet. I left with a heart full of gratitude, a mind filled with knowledge, and a renewed inspiration to follow his beautiful character. If you have the chance to visit while in Makkah, don’t miss it.
