THE
STORY OF DUBAI: A century ago, Dubai was a tranquil town along the
banks of Dubai Creek, where coral-and-gypsum huts housed Bedouin
traders and pearl divers. Today, the merchants have gone international,
their bounty calling forth science-fiction style skyscrapers from the
sand to stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of old Dubai. Dubai
is a city of adventure and surprises. Its diversity means that tourists
can take part in a wide range of experiences – from beautiful
undulating sand dunes or unspoiled beaches to the excitement of a
bustling downtown nightlife. Trade is the lifeblood of this
traditionally Arabic and tolerant society, where business and commerce
bring the best and brightest from across the world to help build
Dubai's future. To many Dubai is the Hong Kong of the Middle East with
a little Las Vegas for flare; a cosmopolitan melting pot at the
crossroads of time - and the quintessential home of sand, sea, sun and
shopping. Dubai is really two towns separated by Dubai Creek (Khor
Dubai), an inlet of the Gulf. Deira lies to the north and Bur Dubai to
the south. Both districts are packed with traditional architecture and
bustling souks, but the city centre is in Deira. Glittering new office
buildings along Shaikh Zayed Rd in Bur Dubai form the core of another
burgeoning city centre.

Location:
Near Al-Shindagha Tunnel, Al-Shindagha Road, 15 minutes drive from The
Fairmont Dubai. It is one of the oldest house in the city, as well as
one of the best examples of traditional architecture. Built in 1896,
from sandstone, the house offers sweeping views out towards the sea.
Although the view has been slightly obscured by recent development, the
one-time ruler of Dubai used the house to monitor trade in and out of
the country for himself. The house was reopened as a museum in 1986,
and also contains an exhibition illuminating Dubai's development from
the 1940s to the late 1960s. Hours of Operation: from 8:30am to 9:00pm
