[The National Museum | A travel spot for learning more about Saudi history and culture]

[The National Museum | Intellectual travel spot to learn more about Saudi history and culture] — The National Museum allows you to experience the "beginning" to "present day" of Saudi Arabia, the center of the Islamic world. You can spend a quiet and special time experiencing the beautiful decorations and deep thoughts born from a culture without idols. — ⸻ 📍[Location] It is located near the intersection of King Saud Rd × King Faisal Rd, on the same grounds as the King Ibn Saud Memorial Museum (about 2 minutes walk). 🕰[Opening hours & fees] - Free admission! (Your nationality will only be confirmed at the entrance) - Opening hours are usually 10:00-18:00 (may vary depending on the season and day of the week) ⸻ ✨Recommended points • Idol-free exhibits: In line with Islamic values, instead of figures and paintings, there are plenty of text decorations and beautiful patterns. This is very fresh and attractive! • From geology to modern times: Learn about the history of the area from before the birth of mankind, through the origins of Islam, the fight against the Ottoman Empire, and the founding of Saudi Arabia, section by section. • Exhibits in English and Arabic: There is no audio guide, but the written information is enough to understand. • The cafe next to the entrance is convenient: Coffee, tea, and sandwiches are available for a break. ⸻ 🎒 Tips • Leave your luggage at the cloakroom!: Water bottles and luggage are prohibited in the exhibition rooms. You can leave them at the entrance. • Follow the yellow circles on the floor to see the flow of the exhibits. • Some exhibits may be under renovation: It is recommended to check the latest information before visiting! • Explore the surrounding area: The park on the premises is quiet and the cats are relaxing 🐈 There are many benches, making it a great place to take a break! ⸻ #Riyadh tourism #National Museum #Saudi history #Saudi Arabia #Riyadh #Absolutely free trip
