The House of Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi

The House of Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi, Heritage museum in Kalba, United Arab Emirates.

The House of Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi features seventeen rooms, three chambers, and a central yard across from a historical fort in Kalba.

Between 1903 and 1937, this residence functioned as the administrative center for the Emirate of Kalba, where important treaties with British authorities were signed.

The Islamic Heritage Rooms contain precious artifacts including a Kashmiri script Quran manuscript from 870 CE and archaeological items from the second millennium BCE.

The museum welcomes visitors with different admission rates based on age groups, offering free entry to children under two and government school groups.

The building maintains two distinct sections divided by a wall: the eastern part with the Majlis for receiving guests and the western area for family quarters.
