  Too big to see during opening times. Aim to do two floors. 80 riyal entry is excessive.

  Very interesting look at Saudi cultural history and Arab cultural history in general. Lots of traditional clothing, art, furniture, coins, tools, everyday items, etc. LOTS to see, so there's something for everyone. Many rooms have been transformed into accurate replicas of traditional rooms and houses. It takes about 4 hours to see everything, but if you pick and choose the things you're most interested in seeing, you could do it in 2-3 hours. Highly recommended if you're interested in cultural history and museums. A rare find in Saudi Arabia.
