Absolutely stunning building. If you only do one cultural attraction whilst you're in Dubai then make it this one!

My boyfriend and I decided to have a cultural day away from the beach and this was definitely the highlight. The beautiful ornate building went perfectly with the middle eastern artwork. My favoutire part was the furniture though, I could have bought any number of pieces, if only they would have fitted in my suitcase...

We took the children along to here expecting a museum about schools and whilst they were reasonably entertained we relly loved looking at the architecture of this really old school. The carving and panels adorning the simple building are quite lovely and to me shout typical middle eastern archirtecture from the time before Dubai just wanted to outdo other rich neighbours.

My wife and I went hee to learn more about the history of Dubai and it was great. Some really interesting artefacts and a really lovely building, and so nice to know a bit more about the place than just seeing all the gold and bling of the modern tourist-focused experience.
