Like most other attractions in Alicante, the Archaeological Museum of Alicante does not offer prayer facilities for Muslim visitors. Muslims visiting the museum will therefore have to use the facilities offered at one of the few mosques in the city. The Alicante Mosque is known to be the main masjid in the city.
There are no known cafés or restaurants at the Archaeological Museum of Alicante. Muslim visitors will however be able to locate quite a number of Halal restaurants in the city of Alicante. Shehrazed and Alhambra Restaurante are just a few of the several Halal restaurants in the city. Muslim visitors can therefore ask to be guided to the best Halal restaurant near the museum.
