This quirky little museum on the edge of the sands preserves the history of the Hijri Tribe, written in Arabic on goat skins. A collection of old spears and swords that date back 300 years or more, together with Chinese ginger jars and dishes (an essential part of all Omani households in the last century), household implements and clothing are well displayed in a restored, cavernous old house. Located across the road from the fort in Al Mintirib, it's worth a 20-minute stop before heading into the dunes.
