Yet again as much worth visiting for the building, a seventeenth-century madrasa built from the local pink stone, as for the exhibits, which are largely the usual collection of wedding dresses and jewellry displayed on awful dummies. However there is a good section devoted to explaining the classical 'three-level' system of oasis agriculture (Level one is the palm threes, level two various other trees such as pomegranites, and the third is wheat or animal feed) and some startling arial photos showing how the town has grown in the last half-century.
