Museum of the Poet Al Oqaili

In 1923, this serene home tucked into the narrow lanes on the edge of the Spice Souk became the residence of Saudi-born poet, Mubarak bin Hamad bin Mubarak Al Manea Al Oqaili. Today, the Museum of the Poet Al Oqaili takes visitors on a journey through the eyes of its former owner, who's regarded as one of the most important Arabic classical poets in history.Museum-goers can read a collection of the poet’s original works, some of which are written in his own handwriting, while also marvelling at personal items such as his pen, furniture and more.
