Lonely Planet review for Heritage House

This renovated 1890 courtyard house once belonged to Sheikh Ahmed bin Dalmouk, the founder of Al-Ahmadiya School, and offers a rare opportunity to peek inside a wealthy pearl merchant’s residence. Built from coral and gypsum, its rooms wrap around a central courtyard flanked by verandahs to keep direct sunlight out. Videos set up in several rooms highlight various aspects of daily life, including the types of traditional games children once played in the courtyard.
