What travelers are saying
- Julie MDublin, Ireland3 contributionsWe came for the early morning yoga with Emilsy at the skypool, it was fabulous even though I cannot bend very well, and I don't particularly like early mornings ;-), Emilsy was amazing, breakfast in the lounge was very tasty and full of flavour, our server Marvin was so friendly and helpful, cannot recommend this enough, and I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat.Written 27 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ghadah I3 contributionsOne of the best places I visited and I recommend every one to go with their kids
Educational, motivate thinking and movement
Clean , friendly guides
The only thing I would recommend for this place is to offer towels for the kids after the water play
And to asks the parents to have extra cloths with them before going

Nested in Al Seef- The Dubai Heritage Centre this Museum is a must see for visitors. Walking through the Souk to get to the museum is also a beautiful experience
The team at the Museum are extremely helpful and guide you through it.. taking some memorable along the way. Some exhibits will make you smile, others astonish you and some make you wonder how the mind works.
A must visit when in Dubai ( best during the winter months to experience the charm and colours of Al Seef on foot)Written 20 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Staff are very friendly. The exhibits within the museum while very interesting are very few. So this museum will probably not take more than an hour. But considering the relatively cheap tickets of 25 Dirhams, it's a good value for moneyWritten 24 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s very nicely laid out and there are people to direct you every step of the way even though it’s mostly self-guided. Clearly a lot of thought and planning went into it and it was really eye-opening and educational. I would plan for at least 3 hours to view all the pavilions. The restored historic houses were one of my favourite aspects of it although there were a lot of interactive and participatory elements as well. It’s definitely definitely worth the trip. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable as well, particularly in the jewellery section.Written 13 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NICHOLAS TDubai, United Arab Emirates5,591 contributionsAlserkal Avenue is a hip enclosed area in Al Quoz. There are a lot of great independent businesses, including fitness centres, food and beverage outlets, cinemas, galleries and more.
There is very limited traffic and lovely open areas to sit and take the world in. Plenty of parking is available outside the perimeter.
There are also regular pop up events and a recurring farmer’s market on Sundays.Written 18 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert ORotterdam, The Netherlands3,578 contributionsCreated in 1997 after most of traditional Dubai had already been demolished to make way for skyscrapers and modern apartment blocks. The heritage village is not like Disney land, but sometimes feels a bit like it. The purpose of the place is to acquaint foreign visitors with old traditions of Dubai (what kind of food people ate, the boats they built, pottery they made, in what kind of houses or shelters they lived, their cultural expression etc.).
Worth a visit if you are interested in what Dubai was like before the big transition.

The architecture is very beautiful and there were particularly beautiful wooden doors and windows.Written 10 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We arrived by Uber, and the driver found somewhere quite near the coffee museum to drop us off. There were no signs to the museum but we found it quickly. We were given coffee and dates as soon as we arrived, but no explanation about what we were tasting. Then we began to look around the exhibition and were offered more coffee. This time, the lady was keen to explain how this Ethiopian coffee was different from the Arabic coffee we tried at the entrance, so it made sense. I was pleased she was there. We looked around some more and finished our trip in the upstairs cafe but it was closed unfortunately.
I will visit again next time I am in Dubai but I will try to learn more about the history of coffee before I go. I would definitely call it an "exhibition", not a "museum", but it is very interesting and the lady serving the Ethiopian coffee did an excellent job.Written 20 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The displays range widely from Alexander the Great artifacts to an excellent multi-room exhibit on the holocaust and different religions. Outside displays include a bedouin tent and Jewish succah. Additional displays include the local area, finding pearls, the golden Koran to cite a small sampling. Interested in weaponry, old atlases, or letters to and from Napoleon? This museum has it all.Written 30 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Susie GLondon, UK11 contributionsA hidden gem of an art gallery, Jameel allows you to get close insights into some of the best contemporary art in the region.
