Spread over an area of 75,000 square meters, it has been built in the shape of the Islamic eight-pointed star with 34 domes. It is home to seven scientific and historical museums.
The museums exhibit 60 manuscripts distributed over 15 sections, each of which chronicles a century of events. About 308 copies of the Holy Quran and archaeological manuscripts are on display as well.
Among other interesting artefacts are 18 kiswas — the black cloth that covers the Holy Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The oldest kiswa dates back to Hijri year 970.
