Our Mission
Bait Khalid bin Ibrahim, the house of one of the leading pearl merchants (Tawaweesh) in the Gulf, reflects Bahraini architecture and design. Its mission is to introduce visitors to this architectural style as being distinct from that of other traditional houses.

About the Museum
Follow the life of an esteemed pearl merchant and his family, who made their home in the ‘Heart of Sharjah' over 100 years ago.
As you wander from room to room, you can appreciate a time without the luxuries of today but one full of ingenuity and imagination.
