One of the most significant, historic, and cultural nations in the Middle East is the
United Arab Emirates. We're taking you back in time with this comprehensive guide
to Dubai Museum as it quickly transforms into the fast-paced, modern nation you see
around you today.
Museum Of Pearls In Dubai:
In 2003, the late Sultan Al Owais saw the founding of the Emirates NBD Pearl
Museum. The world's largest and finest collection of saltwater pearls from the
Arabian Gulf may be found in the pearl museum, which is housed inside the
Emirates NBD bank's main office in Deira. A major value of Emirates NBD and a
cause dear to the late Mr. Al Owais was the preservation of UAE culture and history.

He began amassing pearls in the early 1970s and kindly donated them to the UAE
populace for safekeeping with the National Bank of Dubai. He wanted to make sure
kids would always be aware of the history and way of life in the UAE before the
discovery of oil altered everything. His pearl collection is currently on exhibit at a
museum that Emirates NBD built to better conserve this history.

In the UAE, pearl commerce has a long and illustrious history. Oysters in the warm,
shallow Gulf waters were where the best natural pearls in the world were discovered.
Since the 1500s, traders have journeyed to the UAE to buy pearls to sell throughout
Africa and India. The UAE's merchants built their fortunes mostly on the pearling
industry, which served as an essential historical foundation. More than merely a
means of support, pearl trading was a way of life for them. Merchants would gather
to inspect the pearls and negotiate deals at ancient coffee cafes, which were
frequently used for pearl trading. By the turn of the 20th century, the Gulf's pearl
trade had reached its zenith and accounted for 95% of the UAE's national income.

Dubai Museum:
The Dubai Museum, which first opened its doors in 1971, attempts to present the
traditional Bedouin way of life. The 1787-constructed Al Fahidi Fort is home to the
Dubai Museum, which features life-size replicas of pre-oil era scenes as well as halls
filled with antiquated maps and artefacts dating back as far as 3000 BC. It also
contains a multimedia room with footage chronicling Dubai's growth from the time oil
was discovered till the present.

Visitors to the "Al Fahidi Fort" at the Dubai Museum get the chance to learn in-depth,
comprehensive, and fundamental information about Dubai's extremely ancient past,
which includes interactions with several historical groups and civilizations. Visitors
will become familiar with Dubai's attractions various urban and rural settings,
including those that are marine, coastal, desert, mountainous, or agricultural.

Etihad Museum:
Adjacent to the Union House, the Etihad Museum occupies a space of 26,000
square metres. The museum's entryway is fashioned after a manuscript, and its
seven columns represent the seven inks used to sign the UAE proclamation.
Permanent and temporary halls; a theatre; a learning area; a recreation area; office
space; and parking are all included in the museum. It has eight permanent galleries
as well as a temporary gallery where objects from other museums will be displayed.
While the programmes are participatory, the exhibitions are mostly
experience-driven. Objects and documents relevant to the occasions of the UAE
nation's founding are included in the museum's collection.

Community Museum Of Dubai:

The Dubai Municipality Museum, which opened in 2006, chronicles the evolution of
the local government since it became an independent entity. The two-story structure
was constructed in 1957. The upper story was later erected to serve as a dormitory
for traders after the ground floor was used as a commercial store. The building
served as the headquarters for the Dubai Municipality until they relocated to a new
structure on Al Maktoum Road in 1964. Manuscripts, official documents, and
priceless pictures are among the artefacts on show.

The Horse Museum Of Dubai:

The Horse Museum was built in the Al Shindagha neighbourhood in 1940.Visitors to
the Horse Museum have the chance to learn more about Arabian horses.
Additionally, it takes guests on a fascinating adventure to increase their
understanding of horses. The museum is made up of wings and halls that contain
knowledge, prototypes, and instruments on horses' breeds, names, traits, races,
genres, bodily parts, and anatomy, as well as ways of caring for and training them.
The museum also highlights poetry and writings written about the Arabian horse, as
well as how Arabic and regional literature addressed real Arabian horses.
