The King Fahad Quran Printing Press in Madinah is an extraordinary place that every Muslim should visit. It is the world’s largest printing press dedicated to the Holy Quran, and witnessing the dedication, precision, and scale of work here is truly inspiring. The staff are very welcoming and explain the process with great respect. The best part is that they gift a copy of the Holy Quran to all the visitors who come to see the place, which makes the visit even more special and memorable. This complex stands as a symbol of devotion and service to Islam, ensuring that millions of Qurans in different languages reach Muslims around the world. Visiting here fills the heart with gratitude, pride, and awe at the effort being made to spread the words of Allah.
Definitely worth the trip, taxi cost around £5 from masjid Nabawi. Quran's are incredibly cheap and being able to watch the whole process is amazing. Staff were really friendly as well.

Reviews

Visitors to the King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, are treated to a unique and sacred experience of witnessing the process of printing the Holy Quran. While visitors cannot get up close to the production process, they follow a designated path and receive a copy of the Quran as a souvenir. The factory impresses with its craftsmanship and dedication to producing such an important religious text. Reviewers recommend visiting after 5:30 pm on weekdays for a less crowded experience and more exposure to the processing methods. Despite long lines under the sun, visitors appreciate receiving free Qurans, having access to cold water dispensers and bathrooms, and being able to purchase affordable copies at a nearby shop for charitable purposes.

A visit to the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur'an in Madinah is less a typical factory tour and more a profound, eye-opening spiritual experience. This vast institution is the world's largest facility dedicated to printing the Holy Qur'an, embodying the Kingdom's deep commitment to preserving and distributing Allah's word globally. The Experience and Atmosphere The atmosphere inside is one of reverence and quiet dedication. Visitors are guided through the different stages of production, from the initial digital composition (using the famous Uthmani script penned by calligrapher Uthman Taha) to the printing, binding, and final packaging. While you view the process from viewing platforms, the sight of millions of copies being prepared for distribution worldwide is incredibly moving and inspiring. It deepens your appreciation for the rigorous scholarly review (each copy is checked over 200 times) that ensures absolute textual accuracy. Value and Takeaway Beyond witnessing the advanced technology and meticulous process, the best part is the generosity of the institution. Every visitor, pilgrim or otherwise, receives a complimentary copy of the Holy Qur'an upon leaving, a truly blessed gift. It is a highly recommended and essential stop in Madinah, offering a unique educational and spiritual insight into the immense effort required to serve the Holy Book. Be sure to check the visiting hours in advance, as they can be limited.

This factory show you processing to printing Al Quran, They gave 1 Quran for 1 visitor. if you come with your group tour will be fine but if you want to come by taxi I would recommended to take for round trip because this place is outside city and there haven't taxi service around there. When you order taxi please make sure you bargain the price correct. Take time about 30 minutes from mosques Al Nabawi to this place. Not many driver understand in English and understand where you want to go.
