Top Culture in Makkah

Always carry a water bottle. You'll want to stay hydrated, especially when it gets hot, and buying water inside can be a bit pricey.

Try to visit Al Haram Mosque at around 5 AM. It’s less crowded, and you’ll have a more peaceful experience while praying or just soaking in the atmosphere

Don’t forget to charge your phone before you go. I missed some great photo ops because my battery died! Having a portable charger is also a plus.

Don’t miss the interactive exhibitions! I thought they were just for kids, but I really enjoyed them as an adult. They make the history come alive!

Beware of visiting on weekends! It can get super busy and you might not get the full experience. I found weekdays to be way quieter and more enjoyable.

I suggest checking out the museum's gift shop on your way out. They have some unique souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else plus it's usually less crowded then.
