Bayt Al-Qur'an Al-Akbar

Bayt Al-Qur'an Al-Akbar displays a monumental Quran carved page by page into tall wooden panels. The scale is the point: the calligraphy rises through the gallery like an architectural installation, and the craft involved is impressive even for visitors who cannot read Arabic. It is outside the centre, so it works best if you have transport and a spare half day.
