REVIEWS
The country is proud of its 6,000-year history, and proud of its traditions. Cultural displays are a regular event at Muscat's Bait Al Zubair Museum, which aims to preserve traditional homes, skills, arts and crafts.
Ginny Buckley, Holiday, BBC, UK, August 2006.
When Prince Charles last visited Oman, he headed straight for the place that effectively serves as a national museum: Bait Al-Zubair … This is a privately funded enterprise housed in a pretty Muscat dwelling, and serves as a repository for the diversity of Omani culture. You can learn about everything from Bedouin traditions to colonialism through its fine collection of household items, weapons and costumes.

The must-see sight is the Bait Al Zubair museum, a privately funded enterprise that serves as a repository for the diversity of Omani culture.
