The National Air and Space Museum, just like most other attractions in the United States, does not offer prayer facilities for Muslim visitors. Since the museum is located on the National Mall, tourists should be able to find a clean and quiet place outdoors to offer their prayers. If unable to do so, they can make use of the facilities offered at one of the many mosques or Islamic Centers found in Washington. The Islamic Center of Washington and Idriss Mosque are two of the numerous mosques found here.
The Wright Place Food Court found at the museum offers a variety of fantastic dining options. Since these establishments are sure to not be Halal certified Muslim visitors can dine on suitable vegetarian and seafood dishes. Washington is home to quite a large number of Muslims, which means that finding Halal food in the capital won’t be much of a problem.
