Dubai museum - an awesome place to visit!

Dubai Museum is in Al fahidi street in Bur Dubai. It is located in Al fahidi fort, the oldest fort in Dubai.




In the courtyard of the museum, we can see canons, traditional dhows called 'abras', a traditional well etc.


Inside the museum life in the emirate before oil discovery is depicted with realistic voice and video. There is also an exhibit of a partially built 'dhow'. The Dhow is a traditional boat. They were very much skilled in building dhows during that time.  So many artifacts also are exhibited. Many antique items are also on display. 

The nearest metro station is Al Fahidi.

Dubai museum is an important place to visit in Dubai.

The Dubai fountain, how beautiful!

This magnificent fountain is set adjacent to Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building in the Burj Khalifa Lake and outside Dubai Mall. Dubai fountain was inaugurated in 2009 along with the opening ceremony of the Dubai Mall.

This is a wonderful spectacle to watch along with music set in the backdrop of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building in downtown Dubai, every evening.

This is a very sophisticated fountain fitted with shooters and super shooters that can propel water to great heights. When it operates a loud gunshot-like noise is produced. Many hi-tech types of equipment make water dance, twist and turn to produce a wonderful visual spectacle here coupled with beautifully arranged colored lights.





Dubai Fountain is the tallest performing fountain in the world. Popular music in Arabic and other languages are played. It is a treat for the eyes to watch this popular show here!
