I liked the museum, it consists of many houses scattered throughout the territory. We walked for a very long time, we didn't see everything, we were just tired. The museum itself is not like ours, it is very modern, interactive, the most beautiful thing in it is not the exhibits, but the design. There are many locations for beautiful photos.

I see that there are few reviews. I decided to write my own in hot pursuit.
A good place to get to know and immerse yourself in the culture of the Emirates. Additional visits are not worth breading, you are guaranteed to get stuck here, in a good way) The complex consists of about 22 museum houses, each dedicated to its own theme: the house of the bay, the house of perfumery, medicine, beauty and care, life on earth, life at sea, crafts, etc., etc. It is interesting that all the museums are located in residential houses of the royal family, built at the beginning of the 20th century. For example, the perfume museum is located in the house of the sheikh's wife, who was engaged in perfumery, and master classes are held in her (former) chambers. The expositions in each of the museums, although small, are made with high quality, with diligence and give the first touch to the stated topics. A lot of interactivity.
One of the most liked is the Bay House (Creek House) with its film about the history of the historical and success story of Dubai and the Bay, since 1822. Parfume House - it is interesting to touch the traditional culture of perfumery based on natural ingredients, as opposed to modern chemistry, and understand why perfumery is valued so highly. I just didn't have time for more than 3 hours. Initially, there was a plan to combine these museums with the Museum "Crossroads of Civilizations" (Crossroads of civilizations), which is located there, but the amount of information is more than enough. Therefore, it is better to separate them, especially since the Crossroads of Civilizations also consists of three parts.
Very nice staff, conduct mini-tours in English. In general, do not disclose this place further;) Once there, now you can practically wander around the halls alone.
The ticket price is 50 dirhams, it is valid for one day, it cannot be transferred.
And after visiting the museums, take a walk along the embankment. A very colorful place.
If desired, you can move to the other side of the bay to the Gold Market on an abra boat, paying 1 dirhams for travel.
