Set in Al Fahidi Fort this is a fascinating place! There are dioramas of daily life in Dubai before oil was struck and there is such an astonishing difference! Totally interesting.

Dubai Museum

To get a taste of the history and culture of Dubai, a visit to the Dubai Museum is in order. Located in the restored Al Fahidi Fort, this building, erected in 1787, is said to be the oldest structure in Dubai. The museum was established to present life in modern day Dubai as well as a variety of local antiquities and artifacts from nearby African and Asian countries. Although small by comparison to most European and American museums, the Dubai Museum, it is an important component in the understanding of the development of Dubai, especially before the advent of oil. It is definitely worth a visit.
