I simply loved this museum! Make sure you take minimum 2 hours to explore everything. I wish I had extra time to enjoy a cup of tea at their nicely decorated café. Well, next time! You'll learn a lot about the history of the traditional clothing, see some local art (paintings)+ photos of old Oman. You'll also see how a traditional house looks like. The place is not too crowded. You can pay both cash and card.

When you are strapped for time and still want to get the essence of the whole Sultanate of Oman, this highly curated Bait Al Zubair museum offers you just the right avenue to experience it all. There is so much to see and soak in, so make some good amount of time and you are sure to be transported like in a time machine and you will most certainly leave with a glowing smile on your face. 5 ***** stars...!

Very impressive for a private museum and totally in tune with Oman's humble, simple way of life. Personally I'm not really an art lover so I always skipped this and only visited it towards the end but I did enjoy all the collections on display especially the photography exhibition of Syria. In some areas pictures are not allowed but there's plenty of other stuff in there that doesn't mind a camera click at all. Unlike many museums and govt buildings in Muscat that close around 2pm, this being a private remains open till 6pm which is a very good thing because that means its never crowded.

Traditional palace and halls , if your are interested in heritage and ancient cultures of the Sultanate of Oman then you can spend one hour or more inside and see some antiques , national costumes of Omanis men and women , maps and take a rest meanwhile enjoying 😉 your coffee ☕️ and 🥞 or brownie 🍪 in the cafe right there . My visit 📆 was on October 2018 .

A good introduction to Oman history in a manageable sized museum and for foreigners it's a better price than the National Museum. Photo gallery and other personal collections too.

Located next to the National Museum of Oman, this museum showcases the private collection of Muscat's Al Zubair family. The collection consists of specially selected, inherited or donated pieces spanning a number of centuries and regions that reflect Oman’s rich cultural heritage and unique identity. The artifacts include traditional Omani weaponry, jewelery, costumes, household utensils, furniture, coins, stamps and musical instruments. The colorful oryx in the garden surrounding the museum building are interesting. It was so hot and sunny 46 deg day when visited but it well worth it.

Nice small museum with a variety of Omani and Arabic historical and cultural displays and artifacts. Large coin, stamp and manuscript collection covering ancient and modern pieces. There is a beautiful garden and agricultural exhibit and also a very nice restaurant on the site. Convenient to downtown as well

A museum that focuses on different Omani cultures.

This is an Omani cultural heritage museum that is well maintained and very specific. You can buy tickets at the entrance, and walk through this place. 30-60 minutes is good time to spend here, and it is not usually crowded. There is a cafeteria outside for some quick snacks and drinks, and restrooms are available. They accept payment by card or cash.

A unique historical museum contains from houses displays certain muniments for clothing, accessories, weapons & different Omani rooms style & furniture . Souvenirs & cafe available, entrance fees applies . Staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Enjoy. NK

Well maintained private museum in Oman, you will get to know a lot about the Omani culture when you visit here, place is very clean and well organised. Ticket price is 3.2 OMR. There is also a cafe and restaurant in the museum premise. Staff is really friendly. When I went place was really empty with just few other tourists.

Interesting place to see the cultural past of a country. Lots of silver jewels, household goods and clothing to see

Bait Al Zubair is cultural foundation started as a private museum but was open to the public since 1998. Interesting displays of ancient weapons and costumes, worth a visit

Nice coffee

Interesting museum to understand the history and usages in Oman. The small falaj and the miniature of the buildings that is outside is wonderful.

A must visit place on your itinerary of Muscat if you want to see history and past collection of Oman.

Small museum where you can see essential pieces of Omani history, traditional clothing and jewlery.

It is one of the first malls and still maintains its commercial activity

Wonderful place where you can experience Omani tradition life

I came in here for the second time after 6 years. Still awe struck with the info they have over oman and its rich history

This should be on the list for anyone who wants to know more about the Omani culture and its locals. I enjoyed going around the hallways and different buildings to get to see and know more.

Bait Al-Zubair is a private museum located in old Muscat city and contains relics from Oman’s military, social, and cultural past. It opened its doors to the public in 1998 and is founded and funded by the Zubair family. The family’s extensive collection of Omani artefacts such as weapons, khanjars, jewellery, household items and costumes are considered to be the finest privately owned collection that offers an insight into Arab and Omani heritage. The Bait Al Zubair complex is an architectural icon. It consists of 5 buildings (Bait Al Bagh, Bait Al Dalaleel, Bait Al Oud, Bait Al Nahdhah and Gallery Sarah) and a garden, as well as a café and a gift shop. It has four floors of an ever-growing permanent art collection and is considered to be the most extensive art collection by Omani artists. Bait al Dalaleel allows you to see how Omanis lived in rural and urban Oman over 100 years ago. Gallery Sarah is one of Oman’s houses of contemporary art and even allows local Omani artists to sell their artwork abroad. The gallery also doubles-up as a meeting place for artists. From the gift shop, you can choose from a hand-picked selection of handicrafts, books, postcards, jewellery, clothing, and much more. Head to the garden to see the barasti (traditional hut made of palm fronds), frankincense trees, and local herbs. There is also a model of a traditional Omani village which shows the Aflaj irrigation system used in Oman.

Perfect location to learn about Oman traditions and culture. Many halls within the meseum showcasing different aspects. One of the halls is a real time traditional Omani house fully furnished as it was in the past. Receptionist gave us discounted tickets because we reached at 4:30 and place closes at 5:30 😅

Nice place that holds exhibitions of art, culture, history, modern challenges (energy in transition, e.g.). Free entry. Gift shop. Coffee shop with nice outside seating. Also a restaurant that serves traditional food and desserts. Very friendly and helpful staff.

It was very interesting to learn about the history of Oman. Love the colours.

The museum is worth a visit and shows the Omani culture and history with very interesting artefacts.

In the museum there is a collection of stamps, a collection of ancient coins, traditional clothes and an older building dedicated to a reconstruction of the sultan's house at the beginning of the last century. To visit.

Very interesting, you need at least one hour to fully enjoy.

If somebody wants to konw about Oman and Omani culture & Royal family as well so this I the best museum .

A good place for authentic cultural view of Oman and the Gulf region heritage and way of life in the late 19th century

Bait Al Zubair Museum is an excellent museum. Institute of performing art and mind power development appreciates the awesome museum. It is really mindblowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great little museum. Beautiful collection.

Wonderful place to learn about the history and 🇴🇲 Omani tradition. Worth to visit this place. Absolutely recommended.

Superb museum that details Oman's culture and traditions

Its a good place. Right in the heart of the old town. Plenty of items on display. No photography allowed inside however. One can visit to kill some extra time here

Nice museum that has some history and exhibition of Oman’s local life, worth a visit. No photos inside

Good, but a little small when looking at the entrance fee of 5 OMR for a non Omanian

An interesting collection of Omani's cultural and historic artefacts. Educational also explaining Muslim habits.

Very nice place showing the rich history and culture of the country.

To make it short: If you come to visit Oman, this place ist a must-go, espacially when you're not familiar with the omani culture. And other countrys should have a counterpart to this. For those who want a full resume: this museum gives probably one of the best impressions of a culture you are able to get from a single place. It ranges from traditional clothing and weaponry, to architecture and even art from today, all of this is enough resembled, that you get a feeling for ist. Because the museum is not a big deal in terms of its size, but if you'd like to you could spend hours in it learning more about the omani culture. In all I'd say that in terms of representing a culture it is better than close to every other museum on the planet right now, which I am serious about, and very experienced too. If you're still reading this are planning to visit Oman, then just go there, it'll help you to understand this culture more than a guide could ever do.

Very interesting museum with important parts of omani culture and history

Samira Al-Yaqoubi and Rahma Al-Hajri’s exhibition in Bait Al-Zubayr in the Wilayat of Muttrah in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, entitled (Pastel Cities). The exhibition is at the top of splendor and beauty, reflecting the Omani environment in ideas and materials. It’s open from 5 Until 9 o'clock every day for a month , for all tourists and visitors to the Sultanate of Oman, it is good to visit the exhibition and acquire one of his paintings to keep you a beautiful memory forever from Oman.

Very neatly maintained private museum with a detailed display of Omani costumes, coins, stamps, manuscripts dating back to the 7th century.

The second must see museum in Muscat after the National Museum. What it loses in diversity and quality it makes up for in information. The explanations and displays showing tribal Bedouin life are exceptional.

A great snapshot of Oman’s rich history. We did this on a half day city tour and it was great

Perfect place to get know about Oman traditions and culture.

Bait al Zubair: Bait al Zubair is established in 1998. In muscat Mattrah. The museum's interring fee is 3 OMR, and it opens from 9.30 pm to 6.00am in the regular day and its closed-on Fridays. Omani tour guide. Turath company.

Beautiful artifacts, wonderfully maintained. Highly recommended. It also has a small cafe. Do try the Omani coffee here

I simply loved this museum! Make sure you take minimum 2 hours to explore everything. I wish I had extra time to enjoy a cup of tea at their nicely decorated café. Well, next time! You'll learn a lot about the history of the traditional clothing, see some local art (paintings)+ photos of old Oman. You'll also see how a traditional house looks like. The place is not too crowded. You can pay both cash and card.

Interesting house Good place to spend time in one of Muscat historical places

A must visit place in muscat. Full marks for the place and a special greeting to its workers, especially the person in charge of reception who took the trouble to explain interesting details about the Omani heritage. He has all thanks and appreciation.
