Located bang opposite to the aquarium. The entry fee is combined for both aquarium and maritime museum i.e. 20 DHS for adult. Ample car parking and very neat garden for people and children to sit. The aquarium area also houses open air restaurants. The museum is very neatly displayed with a huge ship at centre of the museum.

A boat lover, or person who likes to build boats and make models, would love this museum. But even for land lovers it was very interesting and came alive with interactive displays and videos of people who actually experienced life at sea. Gives good insight into the economy and trade of days gone by.

This museum gives a lot of information about what life used to be like on the coast. The pearling exhibits are fascinating. It's a lively presentation that holds one's interest.
