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.
