I took my parents to the museum. It was interesting Islamic history and culture. The walls and interior were beautiful. It’s not suitable with little kids under 3 but great with adults.
A must-see! This museum serves as a beautiful introduction to Islam with a variety of valuable artifacts. I especially enjoyed seeing the kiswah (the cloth that covers the Kaaba).
Visited during public holiday. It was open and information staff were available. The museum has 4 halls for different historic representations or about different fields. I liked it. On second floor there is a celestial dome and nice seating area. The whole visit time took around and hour. Recommended.
Such a great activity to do in the UAE. It was free as we went during Ramadan. Even worth giving money to do this museum!
The science gallery was my favourite ❤️

This museum is a collection of the influence of the Middle East and later Islam on the advancement and history of the world. I found it to be extremely informative and a unique collection of artifacts and depictions of technological advances of way back.
Very good collection of artifacts and information. Its not just about religion but also about science, astronomy, artistry, architecture, craftsmanship and valour. Well setup and managed. Excellent staff at the information desk. Must do for those interested in islamic history and culture. Ample parking. Post museum visit you can go across the road and have a snack or drink at cafeteria or go on a bot ride or just walk and take in the views.
What I like about going to museums is on how people from the past creates something with all their heart and soul in it. You can see the beauty of their art and culture in their pieces and they're making sure those are durable (so durable it can even last a lifetime).
Entrance here is just AED10 and yet you can see more than what you paid for. This is great for people who are into art, history and culture.
