Exhibition of the Two Holy Mosques Architecture
Located in the Umm al-Joud area of Makkah, this exhibition displays architectural pieces and historic items from Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi — including old doors of the Kaaba, historic columns, the former wooden staircase of the Kaaba, and photographs and models of earlier expansions.
King Abdulaziz Complex for the Holy Kaaba Kiswa
The complex where the black silk kiswah of the Kaaba is dyed, woven and embroidered with gold- and silver-plated thread. The kiswah is replaced every year.
Revelation Exhibition (Hira Cultural District)
At the foot of Jabal al-Nour, the Hira Cultural District presents the story of the first revelation in the Cave of Hira and the history of the Qur’an through modern galleries.
