Dubai Museum in Al Fahidi Fort - Dubai - TravBuddy

I wasn't actually expecting this to be a proper museum because from the outside it just looks like an old fort, but it was quite nice inside. It is a good place to go to learn about the history of Dubai if you are into that sort of thing. It was interesting to learn about the history of Dubai and why it was settled there and also to learn about the Bedouin culture and how they lived in the past. It cost 3 Dhs (>$1 USD) so you wouldn't really be wasting your money regardless! There are all kinds of displays, artifacts, and movies but the BEST part of it was that is was air conditioned! It makes a nice escape from the heat and sun in the middle of the day! The museum also had a person to give henna tattoos but I never saw the price. It was in walking distance to the creek and a one of the large souks in Bur Dubai.
