Dubai Museum is located in the Al Fahidi Fort, one of the oldest existing buildings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The exhibition includes dioramas and interactive displays that illustrate different aspects of life in Dubai before the discovery of oil. These displays showcase the emirate’s maritime past, traditional Arabian homes, the local pearl diving industry, and the transformation of Dubai into a cosmopolitan city. The museum also houses artifacts from African and Asian countries that traded with Dubai. Because of its rich collection representing various facets of traditional Emirati life, Dubai Museum attracts visitors who are interested in the historical evolution of Dubai and the region’s cultural history.
