AlSaraya Alhamra Museum
About This Museum
Right in the heart of Tripoli's old medina, tucked inside the walls of the ancient Red Castle, you'll find this incredible museum. It’s a total time machine, walking you through thousands of years of history all in one place. One minute you're looking at prehistoric tools and Garamantian artifacts, and the next you're surrounded by Ottoman-era treasures. It really gives you a profound sense of just how many layers of civilization have called this place home.
Collection Highlights
You can't miss the stunning Roman mosaics and the exhibits on the Garamantes civilization with their intricate jewelry. The rooms dedicated to the Ottoman period are also fascinating, filled with traditional costumes and weaponry that tell a completely different story.
Visitor Information
It's located within Tripoli Castle, so just ask any local for 'Al-Saraya Al-Hamra' and they'll point the way. Definitely set aside a good few hours for it, as there's a lot to take in!
Architecture & Building
The museum itself is housed in the historic Red Castle, a sprawling fortress with heavy stone walls and arched passageways that feels like part of the exhibit itself.
