Once you reach the Sharq district, look for the Dickson House Museum on your right side, just before you reach the waterfront.

From there, you can walk about 5 minutes straight down Arabian Gulf Street. The Dickson House Museum will be on your right, just before the waterfront area.

If you prefer not to walk or take the bus, you can hail a taxi or use a ride-sharing app. Simply tell the driver to take you to the Dickson House Museum on Arabian Gulf Street, Sharq.
