Saudi National Museum A Must See





















We recently visited the National Museum of Saudi Arabia. We were amazed the amount of history, artifacts and items that were in display in this beautiful Museum. My 11 year old son would not leave the place until his feet was sore and could not walk any longer. The place was so exciting, we spent around 3 hours and would go back in the near future. The employees were professional and entrance fee is cheap for adults about 10 Riyal and free for children. The Museum is organized in eight distinctive themes such as:

Man and the Universe, Arabian Kingdoms, The Pre-Islamic Era (Jahiliyyah), The Prophet's Mission, Islam and the Arabian Peninsula, First and Second Saudi States, The Unification, and The Hajj and the Two Holy Mosques.

I believe this is a world class Museum and enough people are not aware of this cultural and historic museum. If you are in Riyadh or planning to come it is a mist see.
Location: Eastern side of the King Abdulaziz Historical Center near Batha (Near the TV Tower)
