Etihad Museum

The Etihad Museum offers a rich and immersive experience in a beautifully designed, modern building. Its spacious halls and informative displays guide visitors through the history of the UAE’s formation, supported by authentic relics that bring the past to life. There are dedicated rooms where short presentations about key historical events provide deeper insight. A separate, impressive library invites guests to sit and read in a calm, inspiring atmosphere. Both the building and the exhibition are unforgettable — a must-visit for anyone interested in the UAE’s history.

It's an amazing museum. Every spot has a significant story. The architecture is unique. It welcomes you in a smooth yet calm way with a colour theme of the land of UAE. The mueseum shares the story of founders of the UAE: the union, the culture, and heritage of this lovely country. The unique belongings of the 7 rulers of the 7 Emirates are on display, taking the visitors on a tour starting from the 60s. They have shows, holograms, that share some unique periods from the rich history of my second homeland, UAE. The staff are so friendly, they welcome you with a warm smile. They provide you with a map of the place along with an activity family pack to help the young ones engage in the exploration of items and objects placed around the museum. The outdoor area is calm and lovely for a nice walk in nature.

I found the Etihad Museum absolutely remarkable. It’s an enriching and moving experience that offers a deep insight into the history of the UAE a history that I believe is essential to understand, especially as an expatriate living here. Understanding the roots and journey of the country we live in is not only meaningful but necessary. A special mention to the incredible women working at the museum they took the time to explain key details with passion and kindness, which made the visit even more meaningful. The museum pays a beautiful tribute to the founding leaders of each Emirate. The personal belongings on display are in perfect condition, and seeing them up close was both touching and powerful. The whole experience is also marked by modernity and innovation. The architecture is stunning, blending elegance with a forward-thinking design. A must-visit for anyone living in or visiting the UAE ✨

Such a beautiful museum. It was completely empty when we went. This was where they signed the agreement to make this a United union. The wonderful lady gave us a little tour and then we went downstairs to the museum. It’s completely interactive. So cool We were the only one in the huge museum and had so much fun.

This is an off the beaten track Museum. It is a breathtaking building and a beautiful garden. Mostly empty so one can visit at leasure. The display is interesting enough, but the interior is worth the short walk.

Etihad Museum is a historical place that tells the story of the UAE. You can learn about the country's history through engaging digital technology. It's a very nice place and highly recommended to visit. The museum is located at the exact site where the UAE was founded in 1971. Next to the museum, you can also visit the Union House and pray at the Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed Mosque

The whole story of how the Emirates came to be. This is a beautiful museum and a must if you are in Dubai.

A must visit in Dubai to understand the founding of UAE. Former al-Diyafah Palace and the Jumeirah Guesthouse, the museum displays the heritage of the United Arab Emirates from old passports to personal artifacts of the rulers of United Arab Emirates.The historic signing of the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates, the raising of the first UAE flag, and the formation of the United Arab Emirates as a country on 2 December 1971 took place within the area that forms the museum today. We were warmly welcomed by staff Aisah who introduced us to the museum’s rich heritage.
