Sultan's Armed Forces Museum, Military museum in Ruwi, Oman.
The Sultan's Armed Forces Museum occupies the Bait Al Falaj Fort building, displaying military artifacts, weapons, uniforms, and photographic collections across multiple exhibition rooms.
Built in 1845 as a royal residence, the Bait Al Falaj Fort transformed into the armed forces headquarters before becoming a museum under Sultan Qaboos in 1988.
The museum documents Oman's military progression through exhibits of traditional weapons, military instruments, medals, and photographs that reflect national defense development.
Located on Al Mujamma Street, the museum requires visitors to arrange military escort access and maintains specific visiting hours for public entrance.
The exterior features a functioning model of a falaj irrigation system, demonstrating the engineering methods used in Omani water distribution.
