The As-Safiyyah Museum was the first museum I visited in Medina, and I was genuinely impressed. From the beginning, it was clear that the museum was thoughtfully designed, with a strong sense of purpose. The use of technology—screens, visuals, sound, and lighting—brought the historical narratives to life in a powerful and respectful way.

I joined the Turkish-language tour, and our guide did an amazing job. He didn’t just translate, but also explained details with depth and clarity. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly, which really enriched the experience.

The museum space was spacious and calm. Even though the tour followed a specific path and storyline, it didn’t feel rushed at all. I appreciated that when I wanted to spend a bit more time in certain areas, the guide kindly allowed me to go back, and I was also free to take photos. It gave me room to reflect and absorb the message more deeply.

While much of the information might seem basic at first glance, the way it was framed and presented made it very impactful. The storytelling, choice of words, and visuals worked together to create a meaningful experience. It was accessible but still thought-provoking.

The ticket price was very reasonable, especially compared to other museum experiences in the city. I had visited the International Fair and Museum of Civilization as well, but unfortunately, that experience felt overcrowded and rushed—and didn’t meet my expectations. As-Safiyyah Museum stood out for its calm atmosphere, thoughtful layout, and respectful storytelling.

I had also hoped to visit the Assalam Museum, but it was closed during my trip. Still, I’m truly glad I was able to visit As-Safiyyah. If you’re in Medina and want a museum experience that feels spiritual, engaging, and well-designed, I highly recommend this one.
