In Hofuf, the Al-Ahsa House Museum — known as the Naathel Museum — recreates the old Hasawi home room by room. It was established by Sulaiman bin Mohammed Al-Majed in the outer courtyard of his own house, over an area of some 180 square metres. Its rooms follow the layout of traditional life: a men's majlis with Hasawi coffee pots and roasting tools, a women's majlis with its old furnishings, a kitchen with stone hand-mills and copper dishes, a bridal chamber with dress and jewellery, and a children's room with vintage toys — alongside manuscripts, coins, old photographs and farming tools. The museum also hosts heritage gatherings and workshops, keeping the old house alive rather than merely displayed.
