Beit Al Quran

Bait Al Quran is an exceptional cultural and spiritual landmark in Bahrain. We visited with family and were truly impressed by this Bahrain Government initiative. The museum houses rare Quranic manuscripts dating back 200–250 years, collected from different regions including Kashmir, Iran, Russia, and other parts of the world, all beautifully preserved in one place. The environment is calm and very welcoming, with knowledgeable guides who explain everything clearly. The mosque inside is peaceful and beautifully designed. Entry is BD 1 for adults, while children enter free, making it ideal for families. A must-visit place for anyone interested in Quranic history, Islamic heritage, and culture. Bahrain and the Gulf truly deserve appreciation for preserving such an important legacy.

Really cool museum with SO many Qurans from different time periods. All the different exhibits were really interesting and well laid out. The architecture of the building itself is really cool and clean. If you enjoy history museums — add this to your list!

A visit to Beit Al-Qurān is highly recommended for anyone visiting Manama, whether for spiritual reflection, cultural interest, or simply to witness the beauty of Islamic history preserved with such care and excellence. May Allāh bless all those involved in maintaining this remarkable institution.

Great artifacts but a horrible layout. Not enough curators and staff onsite except for one person who tries to get everyone to leave as quickly as possible. Also, no photos allowed inside and a lot of empty and close off spaces.

A lovely museum that has a lot of Islamic religious history; mainly when it comes to the holy Qur’an. The place is very well decorated, and the different artifacts are well displayed across several floors. Walking between the floors is through ramps, making it very friendly for folks with wheelchair needs. Tickets are bought at the entrance by cash or card. As a general remark, clothing that covers the body is advised, in addition to head covering for women. Expect to spend 30 minutes onwards here.

REQUEST: This is a great place. There is a lot to learn about Islamic history here. Actually, I have never visited here. But I planned to visit on Friday, my day off. But it is closed on Friday. This is unacceptable. Because most people would like to visit here on Friday, their day off. So I would like to ask the authorities to think about keeping it open on Friday. Note: I have given it 1 star now. However, if I can ever visit or it opens on Fridays, I will edit it and give it 5 stars.

Very beautiful museum, where you can find old copies of Quran from all over the world (except the new worlds such as America and Ocenia). There are copies of Quran from Europe too that were printed in Switzerland back in the 16th century. Amazing to know about this! The entrance costs 1 BD and on the left there is a small masjid where Muslims can pray. There is also wudu area.

The place is very cosy and not very big. You can finish it in under 30 minutes depending on how detailed you want to be. It has a vast collection of Qurans from the very early 1st century of Islam up to modern copies. Don't miss it. Admission is free and donations are welcomed. The museum has a mosque attached to it. The only reason I gave it four stars because it does not have any interactive exhibits, also, you can't see any staff, most probably because the admission is free and they don't have enough funds.
