Photo and description

Sheikh Said's house was built at the end of the 19th century on the seashore so that the ruler could watch the movement of ships. The wind towers and suite of rooms that surround the courtyard make the building a wonderful example of local architecture.

The premises contain several exhibitions, each of which is devoted to a specific theme in the history of Dubai: a library; halls telling about pearl mining; halls dedicated to the beginning of the oil era and the history of the Maktum family, which ruled Dubai for 200 years; halls with a collection of coins and stamps; as well as halls with an exposition telling about the life of the Bedouins, a collection of geographical maps and historical documents.
