Makkah Clock Tower Museum

Reviewed By irfandani69

Very well organized. Information is very detailed. I had always wanted my kids to explore Astronomy and they were totally amazed by the displays and vast information on the universe and time exhibits. But off course, the highlight was the most stunning view of the Holy Kaabah and surrounding areas. Well done!
