Lonely Planet review for Museum of Islamic Art
West of Bab Zuweila 500m, the Museum of Islamic Art holds one of the world’s finest collections of Islamic applied art: a trove of manuscripts, woodwork, textiles and astronomy instruments. Unfortunately it has been shut for restoration for several years, with no end in sight. Should it reopen, consider it nearly as essential viewing as the Egyptian Museum.
