Makkah Museum
Charting the Glorious History of Makkah An insight into Makkah through the ages. By Mohammed Mirza
Located on the road that leads to the Ayesha Mosque in Makkah, this former palace has been converted into a museum that goes by the name of Makkah Museum for Antiquities and Heritage. We stood there in front of the stark white structure that didn’t appear ostentatious wondering if it was open for visitors. We couldn’t see anyone going on inside, although it was located on a busy road. The only thing that made the structure look imposing was its massive size and the palm trees that lined its courtyard. But this was nothing compared to the opulence of its interiors.
