Holy Quran Exhibition

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

The highlight of this exhibition, which explains the context and historicity of Islam's holiest book, is a collection of nine original Qurans, the oldest of which is a copy dating from around 1563, with the most beautiful an ornate two-centuries-old copy. The exhibit also has useful videos dubbed in English, but is dominated by wordy placards. Popular with large pilgrim groups, it can get a tad noisy.
