• In Dubai, museums reflect the rich Arabic heritage and culture that the city has
absorbed since its inception. These museums are the best way to let visitors see what
Dubai initially was- a nomadic trading and fishing village, established in the 17th
century and how ancient traditions and culture shaped the city and made it what it
is today- a symbol of 21st-century futuristic aspirations, leadership, unity, and a
melting pot of cultures.
