What a historical place to visit while in Dubai! I took the metro to exit Al Fahidi metro station exit 3 and started walking towards the fort. With the intense heat we decided to stop in at Bay Leaves Restaurant to get a quick bite to eat before the rest of our journey through the different Souks and shops along the way to Al Fahidi Fort. I would definitely recommend the same detours as well as taking the ferry ride from the port, which only costs 1 Dhs!
Just read your review the museum was opened in july
It is interesting to see how the city developed in recent years. Much of the museum is underground so it is a good place to escape from the heat. Entrance was only 3 AED and excellent value.
It was very interesting to find out about the history of Dubai before it became a tourist hotspot. It’s based within an old fort and the entrance fee was really cheap. The exhibits are mainly dioramas. It was quite interesting to see how the city has developed from basically just a bit of desert to the sprawling metropolis it is today.
I went to the Dubai Museum. It was very fascinating with lots of artefacts.
This is a wonderful place to visit!
In 1998 I visited Dubai for the first time and enjoyed a visit to the museum. My daughter and I spent a whole after-noon there and we found it was not enough time. There was so much to see! It would be nice if you could show a picture of the Al Fahidi Fort Museum!
Is it a good place?
