Many believers flocked to marketplaces to shop ahead of the holy Muslim month Ramadan in Türkiye.
While some citizens and shopkeepers say that Ramadan has brought abundance, others complain that food prices had increased before Ramadan.
Two new digital museums have opened in Mecca’s Haram Sharif, showcasing the life of Prophet Muhammad and the history of the Kaaba.
The Biography Museum, located in the Zamzam Tower, uses LED and hologram technology to present key aspects of the Prophet’s life, including his family, migration, teachings, and personal items. A model of his three-step sermon platform and city models of Mecca and Medina are also featured.
The second museum, near the Damascus Gate, focuses on the Kaaba. It displays parts of the Kiswah (Kaaba cover), perfume bottles, and tools used in its production. Digital screens offer historical information. Staff are available to answer visitors’ questions. Entry is free.
The Mecca Haram Region Promotion Authority is working to promote the museums to pilgrims and international media.
