Lonely Planet review for Arab Epigraphy Museum
For most visitors this will be a case of a museum building being more engaging than its contents. The Arab Epigraphy Museum has a small but fascinating calligraphic exhibit of illuminated manuscripts, while the 15th-century Madrassa al-Jaqmaqiyya in which the collection is exhibited is a fine example of Mamluk-era architecture.
