Architectural marvel with immersive future exhibits and experiences
"Even if you can’t get tickets (they often sell out weeks or months in advance), the exterior of the Museum of the Future alongside Sheikh Zayed Road is worth a visit — a shimmering stainless-steel torus covered in stylized Arabic calligraphy that doubles as windows, designed by Killa Design and described by the ruler as the world’s most beautiful building." - Nicola Chilton
"The viral Dubai chocolate bar will make an appearance at a four-day event from the Dubai Future Foundation featuring tastings of the chocolate bars from FIX Dessert Chocolatier paired with traditional chai demonstrations by Project Chaiwala. The pop-up runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, March 7 through Tuesday, March 11, and SXSW badge holders get priority access." - Brittany Britto Garley
"At the museum at 3rd Street and Congress the panel “Food From the Dunes: What Can the Desert Bring to the Table?” (4 p.m. to 5 p.m.) explores how deserts, their resilient communities, and new technologies that transform energy into food can help prepare for a future of varying climates." - Brittany Britto Garley
"On the drive through Dubai’s financial district, I pass the Museum of the Future, an asymmetric eye‑shaped building engraved with Arabic calligraphy that looks especially beautiful when lit up at night." - The MICHELIN Guide
"An architectural landmark wrapped in Arabic poetry whose circular exterior symbolizes humanity while an inner abyss represents the unknown ahead; inside are immersive exhibitions designed to prompt reflection about the world, the self, and the future. It's a popular attraction for which advance tickets are recommended because day-of availability can be limited." - Latifah Al-Hazza Latifah Al-Hazza Latifah Al-Hazza is a Chicago-based travel journalist, documentary filmmaker, and co-founder of Femscape Sojourns, a boutique women's travel company.
