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.
