My bf and I visited Dubai Museum on Dubai National Day (December 2, 2007) for the first time. The entrance fee to enter the museum at this time was 3 AED per person (quite cheap!). And once we entered and explored the museum, I was quite surprised that this museum was more than what I expected. Worth visiting because you... more

Dubai Museum is in the old part of Dubai, and is actually housed in the original fort that guarded the creek entrance. The museum can be seen in less than 1 hour, however there is more than enough attractions in the vicinity to fill an entire day. A good way to tour Dubai is on the Big Bus (bigbustours.com). It... more

Our first stop on arriving in Dubai gave a great insight into the past and present, putting our 2 week holiday in the UAE into perspective, making it more enjoyable and helping us make the most of the trip. Very unpretentious yet one of the best museums we've ever attended, and all for 45p each! This is a MUST DO... more

Even if you are not into history or culture you should nt miss this as it gives you a real insight to the rise of Dubai with various scenes through the ages and a short film. After half an hour... more

As you visit the museum, you go thru the history of Dubai, from desert houses with their typical wind towers to modern Dubai. Mannequins are used to recreate the atmosphere of an old creek,... more

WE visited the fort museum in July. The temp was 40oC outside and very humid. With only two days stop-over we decided to see as much as we could. The museum looked very small from the outside, and the heat was unbearable. But once in, you go down under the ground and it was beautifully cool. It was absolutely fantastic... more
