Historic Ships in Baltimore, a National Historic Landmark, features five historic maritime artifacts: the USS Constellation, the last Civil War-era warship afloat; the USS Torsk, a Cold War submarine; the USCGC Taney, which survived the attack on Pearl Harbor; the Lightship 116 Chesapeake; and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, one of Baltimore’s oldest lighthouses. Visitors can explore these ships through guided tours, interactive exhibits, and even overnight adventures.

Situated within the Hira Cultural District, the Museum of the Holy Quran is the first of its kind in Mecca, dedicated to the history and physical tradition of the Islamic scripture. Its collection features rare manuscripts, including a photographed copy of the Uthman ibn Affan mushaf, and displays record-holding items like the world's largest Quran. The museum employs interactive technology to trace the Quran's journey from early transcriptions on materials like palm leaves to modern printed editions.

Mount Thawr holds profound significance in Islam as the site of the Cave of Thawr (also Sawr, Thour or Thur), where the Prophet Muhammad and his companion Abu Bakr sought refuge for three days during their migration to Medina. Located approximately eight kilometres from Mecca, the mountain rises 750 metres. While the cave itself is the destination, reaching it requires a steep and strenuous climb. For pilgrims, the arduous ascent is a powerful act of devotion, undertaken to visit a place where a pivotal event in Islamic history, marked by divine protection, unfolded.
