Dubai Museum
The Dubai museum is one of the oldest architectural structures in the emirate. Initially it served as a monarchy base and fortified residence. However, as the country developed it turned into a museum and was divided into different exhibitions. The journey takes visitors from the birth of the nation to the country we all know today. Some of the exhibitions show the weapons the Bedouins used, the pearl industry, the oil industry, how the markets or souks looked like, education, and the evolution of the way of life. Considering the weather throughout most of the year, it's built underground with AC to give visitors a better experience.
