About Hejaz Railway Museum
Built on the significant Ottoman Railway Station’s grounds with a segment of the original track, the Hejaz Railway Museum is one of the most educative places to visit in Medina. It is not a museum about train cars or railroads but is dedicated to the Islamic life that thrived along the railway. You must visit the exhibition on the Prophet’s life and take in facts about the artifacts and relics from Medina.
It will feel awe-inspiring to know about how people lived prior to and post Islam besides it will also put the Islamic history and culture into perspective. The museum is sectioned into four halls displaying Medina history from prehistoric to the present time. Step out to look at the car, engine, and original tracks of the narrow gauge railway.
