Dubai Museum
United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi - Dubai - Sharjah - Al Ain
Dubai Museum was originally Al Fahidi Fort, built in 1799 to check foreign invasion. Al Fahidi Fort, in 1983, was ordained to house the ancient relics of Dubai. Al Fahidi Fort, renamed as Dubai Museum, is the place where tourists flock when they are perplexed by originary questions like, Why Dubai is what it is now? Tourists can create a mental picture of Dubai's history and tradition from the ancient relics housed by this Museum.
Years from 1960 to 1980 were the period of urban expansion in Dubai. Tourists can have a detailed review on this urban phenomenon from the extensive collection of old maps exhibited at the entrance of Dubai Museum. Life in desert, a theme which is unique to this famous Museum in the Middle East Hub, is capable of shattering all our stereotypes on deserts. And if you are worn yourself with the sophisticated skyscrapers of the metropolitan city, just take a visit to this Museum where you will find relics and models of Ancient Arabian Homes, worshiping places and other dwellings. A real escape from the humdrum of the 'concrete' world, right? Rich culture and heritage of Dubai might be foreign to the modern life in the city. But Dubai Museum has preserved it in its entirety for the future generations.
At a time when Arabian Music has diffused into several cultures across the world, all who visit Dubai would be interested in knowing the roots of this genre of music. Your heart will tick for some melody at a primitive rhythm, as soon as you enter the section for Arabian Musical Instruments in Dubai Museum. It houses Drums, Lyres, Flutes and Bagpipes of the forgone era.
Artifacts from 3rd Millennium B.C. are the unique attractions of Dubai Museum. These artifacts, excavated from numerous graves along the Emirates, are important research materials for an archaeology student while at the same time, important heritage markers for a lay native.
