If you’re looking for something to do this weekend you should consider passing by the Amricani Cultural Centre and check out their museum. Amricani is part of the Dar al Athar al Islamiyyah who have a collection of more than 20,000 items of rare Islamic art. Some of these rare items are displayed at the Amricani in rotation, changing every couple of years.
The exhibition area is located on the top floor and spans countless rooms, a lot bigger then you would expect it to be. You can choose to book a tour or just walk in and explore by yourself.
Here are their timings:
Monday to Thursday and Saturday: 10 AM to 7 PM
Friday: 2 PM to 7 PM
Sunday: closed
If you want to book a tour, send an email to both: [email protected] and [email protected]
Here is the location of the Amricani Cultural Center on Google Maps.

I’m bit confused about the name, does it mean American Cultural Museum?
I believe so since it was originally the American Missionary Hospital
people called it ELAMRECANI (the American), so they kept the common name when its turned into a museum.
but from my understanding its an Islamic history cultural center.
I’m interested to know how I’d compared to the block in the ASCC
Apples and oranges

Their docents who take you around are top notch.
