Al Shindagha Museum in Dubai: photos, reviews

About

Al Shindagha Museum in Dubai is a must-visit attraction if you're looking to immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of the city. Set aside 2-3 hours to explore this eye-opening and educational venue, which boasts a stellar 4.6 rating on Google. As one of the newest, family-friendly heritage museums, its layout is both stunning and thoughtfully planned, making it suitable for visitors of all ages.

I highly recommend a private tour to fully appreciate the museum's highlights, especially the Perfume House, where Ms. Xinyan Liu excels in her detailed, professional explanations. The museum offers an amazing interactive experience, impressive ancient artifacts, and friendly, knowledgeable staff ready to guide you.

Accessible to persons with disabilities, Al Shindagha Museum ensures an inclusive experience for everyone. Don't miss out on the low-cost ticket options available on various websites, often priced below 35 to 40 AED. Also, consider taking a nearby boat ride from the RTA for a complete cultural outing.

De passage à Dubaï, il m'a été donné de visiter le Musée SINDHAGHA : quelle merveille, quelle architecture, splendide ! Je faisais partie d'un groupe où nous avions comme guide Mme Isaia (RATSIZA...). Aucune de mes questions n'est restée sans réponse. Le sourire, le professionnalisme, la douceur à l'état pur, "Le Guide par excellence", le tout dans un français impeccable. Très bon souvenir de la façon dont on est reçu avec le café, les dattes, le chocolat etc.. MERCI et encore bravo M. Didier DEVERCHIN

Mme Isaia RATSIZAKAINA m'a fait découvrir le Musée SHINDAGHA dans toute sa splendeur tant historique qu'architecturale. J'ai bien apprécié son professionnalisme et sa façon ludique de me plonger dans cette face cachée de Dubaï quant à son passé et sa construction, ses richesses culturelles et sa tradition. Une visite très instructive et très édifiante. Un moment inoubliable grâce à ma guide conférencière très souriante, aussi aimable que serviable. Merci infiniment pour ce beau souvenir car le musée vaut vraiment le détour. Mathilde RAKOTOZAFY D.
