Прекрасная старина

Very beautiful historical place to visit, Al thou I didnt actually go there for something like to explore historical places but I found it out really amazing.

Great place to walk around. The entry is free but make sure to check the timings before you leave. The flowers in the garden looks really good during daytime. It’s very easy to reach because of the Al Ghubaiba metro station and Al Ghubaiba Bus station. It gets crowded in the evenings. Make sure to carry an umbrella and water if you’re going there during daytime.

Bird sanctuary right next door

Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum was the Ruler of Dubai from 1921 to 1958 and grandfather to the current ruler. His former residence has been rebuilt and restored as a museumthat is a fine example of Arabian architecture. The original house was built in 1896 by Sheikh Saeeds father, so he could observe shipping activity from the balconies. It was demolished, but the current house was rebuilt next to the original site, staying true to the original model by incorporating carved teak doors, wooden lattice screens across the windows, and gypsum ventilation screens with floral and geometric designs. Thirty rooms are built around a central courtyard with wind-tower details on top. Inside are the exhibits of the Dubai Museum of Historical Photographs and Documents, with many wonderful old photographs of Dubai from the period between 1948 and 1953. The marine wing of the museum has photos of fishing, pearling, and boat building. Throughout the building there are many letters, maps, coins, and stamps on display showing the development of the Emirate. Nearby is the Sheikh Obaid bin Thani House, restored with displays of traditional interiors. This is right on the creek of Dubai better visit at evening it is very near to Bur Dubai bus stand metro station and abra docks. A beautiful historic house some times cultural exhibitions also held here. Must visit if you are visiting first time Dubai i really enjoy with my family.

I love coming here. It gives me a sense of peace whenever my life is going down.

Free entry AFN great art. It is small, but it is nice to walk around and appreciate art. Not too crowded nor loud.
