Collect Experiences. Not Things. :')

Etihad and Saruq Al Hadid Museums, Dubai, U.A.E.

The Etihad Museum collects, preserves, and displays the heritage of the U.A.E. The site of the museum was formerly called Union house. It’s where in 1971 the seven emirates’ Rulers signed a declaration that marked the formation of the UAE.




The Saruq Al Hadid museum in Dubai's historical district displays a wide range of artifacts unearthed from a new archaeological dig at Saruq Al Hadid.  The archaeological site was discovered by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum while flying his helicopter, as he noticed that some dunes were a darker color than others.

This museum takes you through the mysterious route of archaeological discoveries and presents exciting treasures of long ago. However, a lot of unanswered questions are remain: when was the site abandoned and why?  Why was the site located in the middle of the desert?  Why are there no human remains amongst the relics found?



After which we made a quick stop at Burj Al Arab for a bit to eat.  My first time visiting a "seven" star hotel.
