museums in Dubai 
• In Dubai, museums reflect the rich Arabic heritage and culture that the city has 
absorbed since its inception. These museums are the best way to let visitors see 
what Dubai initially was- a nomadic trading and fishing village, established in the 
17th century and how ancient traditions and culture shaped the city and made it 
what it is today- a symbol of 21st-century futuristic aspirations, leadership, unity, 
and a melting pot of cultures.
• Museums in Dubai are situated in a prime location in the city's downtown area, 
where skyscrapers and traditional architecture blend beautifully. If you are looking for 
information about the history of Dubai, emerging from centuries as a small trading 
post to the luxurious city of today, or the pearling industry that brought immense 
wealth to the trading families of the emirate, the city has a variety of museums to 
suit your needs.
• the most famous museum in Dubai is the Dubai museum in Bur Dubai near the Dubai 
creek. This museum is best known for the historic Al Fahidi fort that you can visit as 
part of this museum. In the Al Fahidi fort you can see historical weaponry, musical 
instruments, boats and a house made of palm leaves. You can also walk on the walls 
of the fort to enjoy the view. The Dubai museum has a large exhibition underground, 
where you can learn a lot about the history of Dubai and how Dubai has grown from 
a fisherman's place to the current metropolis.
