Housed inside the 1787 Al Fahidi Fort, Dubai's oldest existing building, this museum traces the emirate's rapid evolution from a humble fishing and pearl-diving village into a global metropolis. Atmospheric underground galleries recreate historic souqs, Bedouin desert camps, and marine traditions alongside archaeological discoveries dating back to the third millennium BCE, traditional dhow boats, and ancient weaponry.
Highlights
- Historic Al Fahidi Fort built in 1787, the oldest standing structure in Dubai
