The palace is home to an impressive collection of artefacts from the Ottoman era, including weapons used by the Ottoman Army, exquisite fabrics, precious jewels, and intricate pieces of art. It also boasts an extensive collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain. A standout feature is the Holy Relics Chamber, which houses personal items belonging to the Prophet Muhammad, the staff of Moses, and the sword of David, among other treasures.
