Dubai Museum – it’s a place that will take you to an incredible journey mapping the transformation of Dubai from a mere fishing village to the centre of the ultra-modern city with an awe-inspiring skyline.

It is the main museum in Dubai and located in the Al Fahidi Fort. This is the oldest existing building in the city, and is a must-visit for a taste of old Dubai. Entry ticket is 3 AED only.

Showcasing Dubai’s history and its original heritage, you can get a glimpse of everyday life before the discovery of oil. The galleries recreate historic local houses, mosques, souks, date farms, desert and marine life.

You can also explore the rich history of pearl-diving in the region, including actual weights and scales used at the time.
