- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN3,149 contributionsThis review if just of the exterior of the fort as we did not go inside as the Museum has been closed since the pandemic. However, Al Fahidi Fort is an impressive sight and provides a real sense of history. Built in 1787, it is the oldest structure in the city still standing. It is located near the historic Al Fahidi neighborhood along scenic Dubai Creek and it is an area, along with Al Seef, well worth exploring to experience the "old" Dubai.Written 21 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ajmawadDubai, United Arab Emirates11 contributionsAmazing cultural place, it is the right place where you can know about the UAE union story, very calm and nice place to visitWritten 11 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Deogratius N1 contributionThis place gives a glance of many species or types of plants and grasses that we have been only tasting fruits without knowing the real look of the plant. It's spacious to allow many people walk around, look and learn about every plant, in a cool environment that accommodates all kinds of people. Besides, the species are planted from nursery beds that allow us know how to manage and grow them in small space.
Give it a simple try and enjoy the tourWritten 25 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a mesmerising place to visit with each pavilion focusing on a different segment of Dubai's heritage. One of my favourites is the perfume museum and culture of the sea pavilion. A must-visit!!Written 8 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Karl PHo Chi Minh City, Vietnam77 contributionsThis is one of the most innovative museum displays I ve seen, very cleverly arranged. It is vast covering 23 buildings, has a small coffee shop somewhere around buiding 8. Aircon is very cool throughout, good wheel chair access. A bit convoluted to navigate but there are secuty guides/ guards who are there to show you the way, ask if they dont approach you first. The content is beautifully presented and shows the culture and history of Dubai. The glass fronted ticket office provided cool respite from the heat and is around 80m from the lifts down to the metro station. The water front and souk are nearby.Written 28 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Julie L6 contributionsOur group (30 people) visited this museum and I was completely astounded at what this one man managed to do, out of his love for history and respect for all who contributed to it. We only had time for one of the museums, which houses a collection of historic documents and art from the different Abrahamic cultures. Definitely worth a visit.Written 16 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Not a huge museum but interesting and informative, it took us about 45mins. There is a gift shop but we didn't visit.Written 16 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jerrold61321 contributionsEspecially for those who remember the old Trucial States stamps -- issued in large quantities in decades past, a visit to the Philately museum in the Fahidi district is well worthwhile.Written 22 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
