A historic fort of traditional architecture built in 1787 to protect the town from foreign invasion.

While waiting for its reopening, one can admire from the outside the historical fort of Dubai erected between the souk Al Kabir and the district of Al Fahidi. Built in 1787 to protect the city from foreign invasions, it is a magnificent example of the traditional architecture of defensive buildings in the region. The wall made of corals, sponges and shells can be seen not far from the main gate. Outside the fort stands a magnificent Dhow, a boat used for pearl fishing. Later, the fort was used as an arsenal and a prison. It was opened to the public in 1971.

Musée très intéressant (situé en plein centre ville) qui raconte l'histoire de Dubai.
Plusieurs scènes de vie y sont reconstituées.
Entrée peu chère
not very expensive entrance, this museum explains how is developed Dubai, and to see the interior of a fort and scenes to recreate life in Dubai there is little... the school, the port, an oasis... J loved...
Getting there preferably in taxi because it is diffcile parking nearby!!!!
