A special exhibition in Makkah is attracting visitors by displaying six historic Marble Tiles that once decorated the halls of the Grand Mosque. The rare pieces date back to 1881 and provide a glimpse into the rich architectural heritage of Islam’s holiest sites.
The exhibition is being held at the Exhibition of the Two Holy Mosques Architecture, where visitors can view a wide range of historical artifacts. Among the most notable items are the centuries-old Marble Tiles, which feature detailed Arabic calligraphy and religious inscriptions.
According to organizers, the tiles bear the names of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and four of his companions. The craftsmanship reflects the artistic and architectural traditions that were used in the Grand Mosque during the late nineteenth century.
The historic Marble Tiles are displayed alongside rare manuscripts and other valuable objects that have been preserved over the years. These items help document the history and development of the Two Holy Mosques and offer insight into their cultural and religious significance.
The exhibition covers an area of approximately 1,200 square meters. It presents the architectural evolution of the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah from the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to the modern era.
Visitors can explore different sections that highlight major expansion projects, historical designs, and important milestones in the development of the holy sites. The exhibition also showcases various artifacts that were once part of the mosques and have been carefully preserved.
Officials say the initiative aims to educate visitors about Islamic history and architecture. It also seeks to preserve valuable heritage items for future generations. By displaying these artifacts, organizers hope to increase awareness of the historical importance of the Two Holy Mosques.
The exhibition has become a popular destination for pilgrims and tourists visiting Makkah. Many visitors are particularly interested in viewing the historic tiles because of their connection to the Grand Mosque and their remarkable artistic details.
The collection serves as a reminder of the long history of Islamic architecture and the efforts made to preserve it. Through exhibitions like this, future generations can better understand the cultural and religious legacy of Islam’s most sacred places.
