Bayt Alkhanyar Museum

Learn about the Emirati khanyar at Bayt Alkhanyar Museum in Dubai’s Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood. The museum focuses on the dagger’s history, craftsmanship and role in Emirati identity.

Displays bring together khanyars, traditional tools and materials to explain how the craft has developed across generations. The neighbourhood setting connects the visit with a wider exploration of old Dubai.

A cafe and khanyar shop extend the experience beyond the exhibition. Check admission arrangements and opening hours before visiting, particularly if combining the museum with other Al Fahidi stops.
