Quite small, but it provided an inside of how houses were in old Dubai in years gone by. We didn’t spend much time there but worth a visit if you’re passing.Written 3 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Iam.hawkarErbil, Iraq166 contributionsSituated adjacent to Dubai Creek, Al Shindagha is a historical district in Bur Dubai. It borders Port Rashid on one side and Al Fahidi on the other. Since it lies alongside Al Khaleej Road (D92), it is close to the Shindagha Tunnel, which connects the Deira and Bur Dubai neighbourhoods.
The historical district is known for housing the former residence of the ruling family, which is now the Shindagha Museum. Additionally, it is made up of many other museums.

As you might imagine from the name it’s a wonderfully eclectic canter through the history and culture of the region, with exhibitions on pearls, manuscripts, literature and weaponry.
Perhaps most strikingly, there are also very thoughtful and moving sections on both the Holocaust (some fascinating stories of Muslims helping escaping Jews) and the more recent Abrahamic Accords.
