Why visit
The Louvre Museum (متحف اللوفر) is the world's largest and most visited art museum, housed in a magnificent historic royal palace. It contains over 35,000 works of art, including the legendary Mona Lisa. For Muslim travelers, the standout highlight is the Department of Islamic Art in the Visconti Courtyard, which showcases 3,000 historic treasures spanning three continents under a magnificent glass roof. Navigating the museum with children is highly successful when focused on targeted wings.
