Lonely Planet review for Al-Tayibat City Museum for International Civilisation

Don't be put off by the grandiose name: Al-Tayibat City Museum for International Civilisation definitely merits a visit. The vast palace contains over 300 rooms crammed with a collection built over a local merchant's lifetime.

The four-floor collection ranges from exquisite Islamic manuscripts and old coins to stunning furniture and pottery (some of it bought from international art houses). Exhibits are accompanied by good captions and information panels, as well as a few dioramas.

Note that, unfortunately, it can't open for less than 10 people; try and form a group or telephone to join one.

    pleasant surprise!

    livinginsaudi recommends this,

    They have 3 locations and I've visited the house art museum and it was a pleasant surprise! There's quite a lot to see and the attendants were really great and gladly took us room-by-room for 2 hours.
