Tabuk Attraction Mud House

Tabuk Attraction Mud House is a museum in the city of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, housed in a traditional earthen building. People visit to learn about the history of the region at close quarters, and visitors are greeted with Saudi coffee and dates, which sets a friendly tone for the visit. It is also known locally as the Mud House Museum. Inside, a series of rooms holds heritage objects from Tabuk's past. You will find old manuscripts, iron items, handicrafts, weapons, coins, postage stamps, pottery, stone tools and inscriptions from archaeological sites, along with photographs of past visitors, including kings. One room is devoted to the bride, with women's jewellery and accessories from earlier times. Posters explain what you are looking at in the other rooms. There is also a room of traditional Arab clothing that visitors can put on for photographs, and women can have their hands decorated with henna, a symbol of beauty and of happy occasions. The building itself is part of the story. Made with mud and natural materials, it reflects the traditional construction methods of the area and gives a sense of how people once lived here. The museum is open from 16:00 to 23:00, which makes it a good choice for an evening outing, and visitors of any age are welcome, including babies and young children.
