Description

Go to the Heritage Village Dubai in Al Shindagha and visit the Emirati, Bedouin culture, museums, and historic sites along the Dubai Creek.

Get into the core of old Dubai at the Heritage Village Dubai. It is a heart-warming cultural destination in the Al Shindagha district along the historic banks of the Dubai Creek. This heritage village is a living museum that provides visitors with an original insight into the traditional way of life of the Bedouin communities that used to form the United Arab Emirates. The village is a world away in the contemporary Dubai skyline, maintaining the traditions, craftsmanship, and buildings that characterized the place way before the skyscrapers and the luxurious developments. The Heritage Village UAE displays the traditional Barasti houses created of palm fronds, Bedouin tents, and desert settlements rebuilt to portray the life of the early Emirati society. You can find handicraftsmen of ancient art, potters, weavers, metalworkers, and embroiderers as you walk around the village. The air is filled with the aroma of freshly prepared Arabic coffee, and tiny souks are lined with handmade products, which can be a nice souvenir. Dubai Heritage Village is situated near landmarks, like Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House and the Al Shindagha Museum, which is why all the heritage associated with history and culture is united in one experience. Whether you are a history lover, a photographer, or a traveler who wants a real experience, the Heritage Village tour will enable you to identify the cultural heritage of Dubai.
