The household wing exhibits several items that were essential in the daily life of the nomads and the settled people. Various coffeepots of different sizes, cooking pots and pestle and mortars are displayed. The traditional way for grinding cereals is well illustrated. A housewife is shown working on the grinder. These grinders are no longer seen in the present houses but they were in use only a few years ago. Cooking oil, liquids and food were kept in locally made glazed jars and leather skin bags. Small desert animals were hunted and their skins were utilized. The next case (23) displays a scale made of palm fronds and two types of wooden measurements of different sizes. These were mainly used for measuring wheat and barley during the harvest time. In the same gallery there are a number of wooden chests.

The "Mandoos", a local word for chest, was used for storing cloths and precious items. In the past the "Mandoos" was made out of teakwood. They were mostly imported from the coast of Malabar in India and Surat near Bombay. Some were also imported from Zanzibar and Shiraz (Iran). However a number of these chests were also made in Oman and other parts of the Arabian Gulf.
