2 Best Sights in Oman

The small Bidiyah museum is designed like a traditional Omani house and features a collection of old rifles, silver-handled khanjar daggers, and mannequins showcasing traditional clothing from the region. The roof terrace houses beautiful carved wooden doors and offers great views over the dusty town and the small Mintarib Fort across the street.

In a 170-year-old house, which was home to the French consulate in 1896, the Omani-French Museum is conveniently located in the historic old town of Muscat, just down the street from the Al Alam Palace. All the displays are bulit around the theme of the cultural connection between France and Oman, from traditional clothing and models to an entire hall dedicated to maritime history and navigation. It's rather a niche subject.
