"An Introduction to Desert Life"

A trip to Dubai is not complete without visiting the Dubai Museum, located in Al Fahidi Fort. Originally built as a defense against foreign invasion, the impressive fort was later transformed into a museum that allows visitors to delve into the rich and unique heritage and culture of the city. Inaugurated in 1971, the museum boasts spectacular exhibits depicting traditional Arab homes, mosques, fishing, pearl diving history, trade, and other aspects of everyday life. Visitors can also survey model souks inspired by traditional marketplaces. Moreover, vivid descriptions of life in the desert and the experiences of the nomadic Bedouins add to the cultural richness of the museum. One of the highlights at the museum is an exhibit featuring artifacts from excavated graves in the Emirates from the 3rd millennium BCE.
