Muscat Gate Museum, History museum in Old Muscat, Oman.
The Muscat Gate Museum occupies a fortress structure along Al Saidiya Street, presenting exhibits about the development of Oman's capital through different periods.
The museum displays the original city gates that protected Muscat until the 1970s, demonstrating the defensive mechanisms used against land-based incursions.
The exhibits present information about traditional Omani irrigation systems, architectural elements, and agricultural practices that sustained local communities over generations.
