Customer Reviews
Soraya Museum is a Treasure Trove of History and Art
2025-01-09
Neene, our guide, was amazing and well informed. She brought to life what otherwise would have looked like pieces of stones. The background of every piece of art and sculpture had an interesting story to tell. It is well worth getting your own guide to walk you through the museum.
Enjoyable!
