Visiting museums- one is most likely to wrinkle the nose at the suggestion. I can't remember actually completing a museum visit properly ever. It was more like a rush through tour after the first quarter when things start getting boring and you left promising to yourself to come back later to look at the remaining. History, I thought could never... More

A small but very interesting museum. For me this is the perfect size for a museum. It doesn't take more than an hour and you get to know the UAE region. Afterwards you can walk around and feel and hear the crazy "down town" Dubai, and then take an abra over to the other side of the creek.

Our city tour included a stop to Dubai Museum(DM). At first, due to the summer heat, I was hesitant to see the place. I am thankful that I visited Dubai Museum.as I saw how they have developed through the years. After the few minutes explanation about how they lived during the early times, the walk through the different stages of... More

The collection of artifacts is appreciated because of the lifesized mannequins in the below ground exhibit hall.

We visited the Dubai Museum as it wasn't far from where we were staying and had good reviews on TripAdvisor. The admission is 60p per person, which is a bargain as most things in Dubai will be greatly more expensive to do. You wander around the outside part looking at the traditional housing and materials, before going down a ramp... More

This old fort is now a museum and located near Dubai creek. Don't let the size fool you. It looks smallish but there are some hidden treasures and a wonderful underground gallery depicting the history and culture of Dubai and the adjacent parts of the Middle East with fantastic modelling, lighting and dioramas. Allow at least 60-90 minutes. A modest... More

This is situated in an old fort and while not huge, the displays are very good and give some insight to this place which is now such a big city. The displays are well put together with written materials on most of them giving an idea what life was like here in days gone by. Being situated in an old... More

I definitely expected more and was very disappointed. Although its obvious Dubai doesn't have a vast history I at least expected the museum to do a good job at the history the city and country does have. The museum is very small and before you know the route walks you straight outside to the public walkway, Only took about 20... More

An interesting place to visit. The mud brick buildings with the thick wooden doors laden with lovely brass fittings gives way to the mystery and treasures of Dubai behind the walls. Air conditioned comfort in the labryinth with highlights of traditional life of the Bedouin. Archeological findings, bronze age artifacts and clay pots of astounding treasures are wonderfully presented in... More
