The 25 Best Things to Do in Dubai

"This ultra-modern museum offers a comprehensive look at the formation of the seven Emirates that make up the UAE. It draws a diverse crowd of UAE nationals and history-buff tourists. The museum lies on the site where the country's unification was signed in 1971. The Etihad Museum isn't overwhelming in size or content. Even non-museum lovers will find the exhibitions interesting and crucial to a well-rounded UAE visit." - Melinda Healy

Very spacious, big… quit and peaceful… I was impressed more by the space and the garden itself than by the exposition. The purpose of this museum is quite clear, but it’s repetitive. I liked the audiovisuals and the place itself. The 123 m high flag stick is stunning.

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 ✨

The Etihad Museum was one of the highlights of my trip to Dubai. The building itself is stunning, and the exhibits tell the story of the UAE’s founding in a way that’s both easy to follow and deeply engaging. Our guide, Ayesha, was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate—which truly brought the history to life. I highly recommend this museum to anyone visiting Dubai who wants to understand the country’s formation and the challenges the founding fathers overcame.

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
