Taybeen Museum


Relive your childhood at the privately owned Taybeen Museum. What started as the personal collection of Majid Al Ghamdi has now evolved into a 300-sq-metre museum that includes more than 10,000 toys, posters, cameras, electronics and food and drink containers. There's even a display showing the evolution of Coke bottles from the 1970s to the 1990s.
