A beautiful place to be, as its rich with multiple floors showcasing the Islamic and Oman history. Some super treasured items on display, showing a neat chronology of history and evolution through the Oman Sultanate. You can find some invaluable historical artifacts and spend a good chunk of your day reading through and exploring. It also has a beautiful garden, cafe and small fountains around.

Happy to visit Bait Al Zubair Museum after long time. We did coffee mornings here AWG. History is nicely explained here. Artifacts kept nicely. Lovely to see Oman's kawah is in the menu and served eith dates. Love to bring artisans from Goa to meet artisans of Oman .

This museum is really a little gem. Not too busy, not too big or pretentious and a real nice collection about Omani history. Definitely a place to visit. Also the restaurants are nice. A bit hidden but you get a feeling like being in an oasis and the food is quite good.

A beautiful and peaceful museum that offers a deep dive into Oman’s soul. The traditional costumes and ancient maps are fascinating. It’s very well-maintained, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. If you’re visiting the nearby Al Alam Palace, make sure to stop here
