Dubai Heritage Village
The Heritage Village was built in 1997, in the Al Shindagha historic neighborhood. Located in the Shindagha near the creek’s mouth, the Dubai Heritage Village (Hatta Village) provides a glimpse into Dubai’s traditional culture and lifestyle, including Emirate’s maritime history, pearl diving traditions, and architecture. Displays include a tented Bedouin village, an ancient armory, wooden chests, and cooking utensils. The Heritage Village is considered an attraction for tourists interested in the local traditional life. The village witnesses the events of UAE National Day, Dubai Shopping Festival, Flag Day, and others.
A visit to the Heritage Village, especially during the tourist season with its activities, gives a unique opportunity to live and know closely, many façades and details of the traditional life of Dubai, and it will increase an appreciation of its citizens who invented ideas, methods, and treatments to survive and make use of the local natural resources despite their scarcity and rarity.
