About Dubai Museum


Dubai is all about shiny skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and endless shopping malls. But what if you want to see what Dubai was like before all the glitz and glamour? Dubai Museum is the perfect place to step back in time and see how this modern city started as a simple fishing and trading village. So, you can explore the best of Dubai with our Dubai tour packages, offering unforgettable experiences, luxury, and adventure.


It is located in Al Fahidi Fort, the oldest building in Dubai. This museum gives you a peek into the past. You’ll find old maps, ancient weapons, traditional homes, and even a life-size marketplace that shows how people lived before the oil boom. The museum even has a section that takes you underground, where you can see realistic displays of old souks, desert life, and pearl diving. It’s like going back in time—without needing a time machine!


About Tickets/Entry Fees


The entry fee for the Dubai Museum is around AED 3 for adults and AED 1 for children, which is approximately ₹70 and ₹25 respectively. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance of Al Fahidi Fort.
