Havana, Cuba
phone: +53 7 61 5868
This is the only place in the country that offers somewhere for Muslims to pray, and is open to all believers in Allah, whether they be Cuban or from abroad. It also houses a collection of religious objects, along with studies of the Koran. Each room is beautifully lined in wood, which has been decoratively inlaid with mother-of-peal; and the centre includes an exhibition of elaborately decorated, gold and silver-plated Islamic weapons from the 18th and 19th centuries. However, the museum's star exhibit is the so-called 'Desert Rose', a rare calcareous formation that resembles a flower, and is found on sand formations once all humidity has evaporated.
