1. Al Shindagha Museum The iconic Dubai Creek area is the home to our museum, where visitors can experience the vibrant history of Dubai. It was developed as part of an initiative to transform the creek into a regional culture and traditional centre. 　 Shindagha Museum tells the universal tale of human innovation, resilience, and the desire for progress which shaped the Dubai of nowadays. We invite our visitors to explore the heritage submerging them into true Emirati culture and its origins. The museum also highlights Dubai’s shared heritage with the region and wider world. 　 "We may not live for hundreds of years, but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone."　 His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

2. Discover the first of a series of museums that are transforming the historical district of Dubai into a rich cultural zone. Located in the historic Shindagha district of Dubai, it offers the perfect reason to spend a day in old Dubai. Combine it with a traditional abra ride across the creek, or a visit to the souks. The findings on display here were found at an archaeological site on the edge of the Rub Al-Khali desert, discovered by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum while flying his helicopter. Ever since, archaeologists and historians have been unearthing thousands of iron tools, stoneware, bronze pots, precious beads, gold jewellery and fossils – now on display at the museum. Translating to “The Way of Iron”, the Saruq Al-Hadid museum showcases the era of metalworking – with artefacts preserved in mint condition. Visitors can even carry out their own dig in a simulated archaeological excavation and kids can follow the gallery trails to explore history.

About Dubai

Dubai rejser sig op af ørkenen og Golfens kyst, en by af skyhøje tårne, enorme storcentre og strande, med ældre handelskvarterer langs Dubai Creek.

Burj Khalifa, bygget til at være verdens højeste bygning, rager op over Downtown, hvor Dubai Fountain danser på en sø ved dens fod og Dubai Mall breder sig ved siden af. Langs kysten definerer det sejlformede Burj Al Arab, den palmeformede ø Palm Jumeirah og tårnene i Dubai Marina en skyline, der er rejst inden for den nulevende generations erindring.
