Dubai Museum

Dubai Museum was on one side of the Dubai Creek that we crossed in an abra, water taxi. It was great, a definite don't miss in Dubai!

Walls of the Old Fort.
Samples of the homes they used to live in less than fifty years ago.
Samples of Dhows from the past years.
When you go into the Museum it is set up with scenes of life from years ago
telling the story of the Bedouins from this area.
Moving goods by dhows and donkeys.
They often dined outside, men separated from women.
The souk (market).
Cooking in the days gone by.
Pearl trading.
Schooling.
At the fabric souk buying for new Abayas.
Out in the desert.
Building Dhows.
