Very interesting museum about Dubai history and development. Lots of different parts to visit. Cultural heritage guides at the exhibits were excellent and informative. More for adults than children. Well worth an afternoon and very reasonably priced

    Several exhibits across several buildings, plenty of people on hand to guide you or you can go at your own speed. Bit of a maze meandering your way to different exhibitions, but Very helpful staff. Nice location to wander through next to the waterfront which is pleasant to sit and rest between exploring. Enjoyed myself, needs a good few hours to get around all the exhibits without rushing - I'd suggest 4-6hrs so you can take a nice lunch/food break too.
