Agricultural Wing

The agriculture side starts with the well. Water was extracted with a bucket. It is worth noting that this well is a real one. It was dug a long time ago before the construction of the museum to serve the people who used to live around the fort either in 'barastis' (palm frond huts) or in mud brick houses. It is dry now because the water table dropped sharply in the last thirty years. Next to the well traditional farming is illustrated by a hand plough towed by a bull and other traditional tools that were still in use in the pre-oil era. These tools are not very much different from those that were used some 3000 years ago.
