Interesing exhibit near Heritage House Feb 01, 2009

Al-Ahmadiya School is right next to Heritage House in Deira, and like Heritage House it is a free museum made from a restored building. The school was built in 1912 and expanded in the 20s. It was the first and most important school in Dubai. Like Heritage House there are videos and signs (English and Arabic) explaining the construction and schooling traditions, and most importantly it is a beautiful house to wander through, to see the traditional construction with coral and gypsum, the cooling tower and the ornate carvings.

We visited Heritage House (built in 1890) and Al-Ahmadiya School (built in 1912), allowing us to see the beautiful architecture of the traditional Arabic building style, built from coral and gypsum around a central courtyard. We caught an Abra from Deira Old Souq Abra station, the rickety old wooden boats that are still… A world of shopping
