“You can reserve a visit through the digital sharjah app (free). It's a calm place with quran recitation going on in the background. There are different quran museums inside, which you can visit. Only one is currently translated to english, but the translation work for others is going on.”

“It's a palace dedicated to the Quran - I'm so proud of Sharjah's leadership for establishing this centre. We loved every museum room. The quality is outstanding. The kiswa room blew us away. The qurra room was also very special. My only request to the management would be to add English translations to all Arabic description cards. The staff were very helpful and friendly as well. And it's completely free!”
