<\/p>\nWhile Dubai is known for its stunning skyline, beautiful hotels and its top class shopping malls, there’s a culturally-rich\u00a0side to it as well. There are several sites\u00a0around the city that\u00a0allow residents and tourists to learn more about Emirati heritage and values. Some of them are its museums.<\/p>\n
Built around 200 years ago, it was originally the premises of the monarch and a fort of defence, but later it was turned into an arsenal for artillery and weapons. Located at the South of Dubai Creek, the venue was then renovated,\u00a0during the reign of the late His High Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and\u00a0turned into a museum in 1971 (the year the UAE was formed). There was an underground museum added to the fort in 1995. Visitors will see antique monuments such as pottery, tombs and weapons, as well as a representation of life in the early days. Entry is at AED 3 for adults and AED 1 for children under the age of 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
