MAKKAH: The Hira Cultural District is a must-visit for the millions of people who come to Makkah each year, offering an experience that engages both heart and mind by bringing history to life, a Saudi Press Agency report said.
At its center is the Holy Qur’an Museum, which features rare manuscripts and historical copies of the Qur’an alongside modern visual displays.
Visitors can explore the Qur’an’s compilation and the meticulous preservation it has undergone through the ages, the SPA reported.
The museum reflects the deep reverence for the Qur’an, using innovative presentation methods to enrich the visitor experience.
A standout feature is the Revelation Exhibition, closely linked to the Cave of Hira — where Prophet Muhammad first received the revelation.
The exhibition includes a dedicated pavilion that tells the story of the Qur’an’s revelation, offering profound insight into this pivotal moment in Islamic history.
Spanning about 67,000 sq. meters, the Hira Cultural District draws visitors from around the world and all walks of life, according to the report.
Beyond its cultural and educational appeal, it offers a vibrant atmosphere with a mix of traditional and modern cafes, restaurants, and diverse shopping options for individuals and families alike.
