Royal Cars Museum

The Museum was established per the royal orders of the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said. It began in the beginning of the 70s, when the late Sultan was passionate about the car world and preserving antique and unique cars. It started with two cars belonging to the late Sultan Said bin Taimur. Then the old cars of the two late Sultans were gathered in one place. Later, a number of modern and rare cars were eventually added. Then in 2012, the car Museum building was established. At that time, the Museum visit was limited to the private guests of the late Sultan.
