The picturesque gate in Muscat.. didn't Stop there just passed through that gate because of the time which I had..I should have stopped but will try my luck next time if I happen to visit it again

A small modern and very well presented museum. Lots of interesting historic I formation. Informative polite staff who are very willing to answer your questions. We'll worth a trip. Not too big as to overwhelme you with I formation.

Nice place for a quick stop. Has a free museum on top that is quite interesting. Spent around 20 minutes there.

Amazing museum. Make sure you stop and view the collection when you are in Old Muscat.

Free entry, good collection of exhibits showcasing history of Oman. Good photo opportunity, multiple entry n exits available. A mini amphitheater also exists. Toilet was locked-probably meant for staff only.

This is not so big museum but it's a gem. We totally enjoyed it there. The sitting place under the tree was heavenly. Cool breeze from the sea was mind blowing weather. Although no one was there, gate was open, we went inside, but lights were off, couldn’t find switches to turn it on. Recommend if you have enough time in Muscat.

The museum is located above Muscat Modern Gate. This museum has an amazing view which you see through the broad stairs leading to the museum’s gate. The Museum tells Oman’s long history, and focuses in particular on the history of the capital, Muscat. It also provides an explanation of the Falaj irrigation system Oman is famous for, in addition to Oman’s distinctive architecture, whether in the construction of niches in mosques, halls, doors or wooden arches. This museum takes the visitor on a journey through the various stages of development and growth of the city, from a commercial port to a prosperous capital, and stands witness to Muscat’s relics and history.

The Muscat Gate Museum is a museum located on Al Saidiya Street, Old Muscat, Oman.Opened in January 2001, the museum contains displays about Oman's history from the Neolithic times to the present. It has a number of special exhibits on Muscat's water springs, the ancient wells, underground channels, the souqs, houses, mosques, harbours and forts.

One of my favorite places in Muscat. Love to spend evenings here. Beautiful view of the the sea from the top of the museum. A hidden gem. Excellent piece of Architecture. Very calm and serene place.

Great place to visit

Fantastic museum. Free to get into, gives a good insight into the history of the forts of Muscat and how Muscat developed over the years. Well worth the visit. There is only one sign post for it off the main road so look carefully for the car park. It’s a turning right about 300 m up the road, it’s at the side of a mosque and next to the cemetery. It’s only a small carpark so be alert to spot it.

As per Google Maps the timing is til 1:30PM. We reached there at 12:50PM and it was already closed.

Muscat Gate Museum. It reveals the traditional values of Sultanate of Oman. Very nice place to visit. Easy accessibility from Matrha corniche. Well arraged parking slots available in this place. Very much excited to visit this place. One of the un avoidable place in Musact tour.

Muscat Gate which is located after a couple of minute drive from Mutrah Corniche and just before the most important area in Old Muscat where you can see Al Alam Palace, National Museum and other important buildings. Muscat Gate by itself contains a museum inside it which you can go and visit at the opening times : Sunday to Thursday from 8 am to 2 pm the Gate itself is a place where you can visit and enjoy some beautiful spots as well as views from top. walking through the stairs and watching the surrounding houses and villages of locals who lives there for so many years. The gate used in old days to prevent citizens from entering Muscat (Opens in days times and closes at night) as a security gate. However, now it is one of the most important and beautiful landmarks in whole Oman. I like going there to spend some time enjoying the history and feeling the beauty of Oman and its landmarks which makes this country loved by its people. please let us know your opinion if you have visited the place and if this review was useful to you. insta: @khrosi

This is not so big museum but it's a gem. We totally enjoyed it there. Hope they update the telephone number. I did mention to the person who was there but let's see if they would update it.

Nice experience , nice place to visit 🌟.

We unfortunately arrived 5 minutes after the museum had closed, however the gentleman who was working today (21.11.23) was one of the nicest, kindest people we have ever met - So we'd like to say thank you to him for his help, chat and absolute kindness! :)

Ancient trade route snd choke point to unwanted travelers.

Nice place to visit and there is a place to sit their and it has stairs to reach their.

Nice place where you can see Muscat in a different way.

It has nice ambience for evening walk/family outing ...... But we cannot access the museum in the evenings/weekends/Public holidays, as it is working only on weekdays from 8am to 2pm...... So we may have to take a day off to visit the places which are accessible only on weekdays (we have many places like this in oman.... esp forts and museums ....where expatriates cannot go on holidays)

Way to Muscat palace..good entrance to watch

I love this location in Oman

This was an okay stop, but not really essential. You'll pass by a lot of these kinds of gates when driving around Oman. If you do stop by the nearby neighborhood and park to walk up the gate, the view is okay... mostly because it's of the highway and some of the bay area from where you can stand. I did not visit the museum as it was closed when I went. If you do want to visit, as you pass under it going west to east, look for the next turn-off to the right and park somewhere in the town-area to make your way up the stairs and onto the "top" of the gate.

Marvelous , beautiful surroundings to take pictures

Iconic location with Museum, Friday closed

Very hot, but nice view

The Oman culture and heritage house

Good place Nice views Less to do other than that

Small and informative museum housed in Muscat's most impressive city gate.

A surprisingly interesting small museum. Provides good background information and history of Muscat and the local geology.

Small place, can't call it a museum. But has the history of Oman through ages. Informative

It would help if they put in more clear directions and parking instructions.

Very nice museum,

Nice gate

Wonderful museum which houses many historical photos and facts about oman. The only problem with this museum is the timings. It opens at 8:00 or 9:00 am and closes at 3:00 pm. Friday closed. The timings are approximate. But i remember feeling very bad for such a good museum. It being a tourist spot with such good material on display, it should work in the evenings and especially on holidays, which would allow more footfall. And many people are not even aware that theres a museum located in that secret spot. They think its just a bridge. Very bad for a wonderful place.
