Dubai museum - an awesome place to visit!

Dubai Museum is in Al fahidi street in Bur Dubai. It is located in Al fahidi fort, the oldest fort in Dubai.




In the courtyard of the museum, we can see canons, traditional dhows called 'abras', a traditional well etc.


Inside the museum life in the emirate before oil discovery is depicted with realistic voice and video. There is also an exhibit of a partially built 'dhow'. The Dhow is a traditional boat. They were very much skilled in building dhows during that time.  So many artifacts also are exhibited. Many antique items are also on display. 

The nearest metro station is Al Fahidi.

Dubai museum is an important place to visit in Dubai.

Looks like the Dubai museum would be a great place to visit. Enjoyed seeing the photos --and reading your words... Thanks for sharing. I probably will never get there in person---so it's great to see the photos.

Thanks Joy for your visit and comment. Hope you are enjoying posts in my blogs.

Dubai is a wonderful city. It is better to visit Dubai during the time of Dubai Shopping festival (DSF) because you will be able to visit all the awesome places easily. Weather will be pleasant during that time in December, January and February. Try to visit Abu Dhabi and other emirates like Ras-al-khaima, Fujairah etc. All within an hour or so journey from Dubai by road.

I worked in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates for a long time. Just a few months ago I relocated to Kerala.
Thanks again, Joy ! Have a nice day ahead !
