Bait Al Maqham

Model making

This three-story fortified residence is well hidden in a plantation area of the suburb of Bawshar, Muscat.  Close to the city's last remaining sand dunes, Bait al Maqham is a unique structure at the foot of the Al Hajar mountains.  Also known as “the Big House”, it has witnessed two major restoration and historic preservation projects that were undertaken by The Ministry of Heritage and Culture of Oman.
