Dubai Museum Cultural And Historical Project

Over the last few years Dubai has become one of the most visited holiday spots in the world. The weather is mild throughout the year, there is much to see and enjoy and the stay at luxury hotels is to die for. If you are planning to go to Dubai for your next vacation you would surely visit all the famous places such as Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and the Hatta Village. But if you want to see the culture and history of this modern city then there is no place like the Dubai Museum for it. You and your family would definitely enjoy a visit to the Museum.
The building in which the museum is located is known as the Al Fahidi Fort. The building itself is of historical significance. It was built more than 200 years ago to defend the city from invaders from the nearby tribal areas. The fort was converted into the museum in 1970 so that it can tell the history of the place to all those who visit Dubai. There are numerous exhibits in the museum that depict the story of how this small fishing town in the desert became a large metropolitan city.
