Dubai may be one of the tourist hot spots not known for their museums. They have luxurious hotels, beach villas, the trendiest buildings, and the famous palm islands, but tourists seem to forget these underrated museums. Fortunately, these museums are slowly getting into the limelight, as tourists get more interested with the history of this modern city. Dubai has such an interesting story to tell beneath the facade of 21st century modernity. Tourists who only go to Dubai for the sun, sand, and luxury find a new sense of appreciation for the city after visiting these museums.

The most popular museum in Dubai is the generically named Dubai Museum. Despite its plain name, this destination should be on the top of the list of every tourist because it tells the social history of the Emirates and how the city and the country were able to stand today. The most interesting thing that you can learn from the museum is how the city was able to transform from a poor village to one of the prime properties in the world in such a short time. Dubai Museum will give you a taste of the city’s natural environment and village life, as well as the great structures that make the city what it is today. The museum is housed in al-Fahidi Fort, a reconstructed fort used to defend the city from sea attacks.

One commendable attribute of the Dubai Museum is how it presents the Arab lifestyle through history. Many westerners have little understanding of the Arabs. Here you will learn how the Arabs championed commerce with their class of merchants, and learn Arabian warfare and weaponry. Other key ‘artefacts’ that you can see at the Dubai Museum are dioramas, pearl, and sailor’s outfits.

The Dubai museum is in the old section of Dubai. This section, where the fort is located, faces a creek that is essentially the gateway to the Emirates. The museum can be discovered in a little more than an hour, but you can spend the whole day there if you want to go over every detail.

Aside from the Dubai Museum, there are other historical sites found in ‘Old Dubai.’ The Bastakiya is one of the old districts that still preserves the traditional Arab architecture. The expanse of the district includes art galleries and cafes. You are also better off treating Mosques as museums. These mosques are as preserved as the Christian churches in Europe. The Jumeirah Mosque just across the Palm Strip Mall is one of the best looking mosques in the area. It is also only one of the few that is open to non-Muslims. The Jumeirah Mosque can introduce you to Islam with guides sitting down for question and answer sessions.

The Shindagha district is the home of the open museum in Old Dubai. This area is where the mouth of the creek is located, which easily becomes the site of the oldest settlement of the city as it is known today. The Shindagha is the earliest settlers of the creek, and they also represent the ancient Arabian lifestyle that is still alive in the spirit of Old Dubai. Here, there are enough museums where you can stroll around. While these museums are small, and while some are merely exhibits, this district is still a great place for touring and people watching.
