Dubai is not just all glitz, glamour and high rises. The Dubai Museum is one of the must place to visit and lies with the Al-Fahidi Fort. The Fort itself has significant importance and today houses the history of Dubai itself.

The fort was built in 1787 and was originally a barricade to protect the seas and the kings. It was eventually converted into the residence of the ruling party and was also used as a prison. Some of the most popular displays include small wooden boats, life-size dioramas, jewellery, paintings, instruments, weapons, etc.
