民族村نادي تراث الإمارات - القرية التراثية in Ar Ruways
Description
Privilege
I’ve been living in the UAE for the past 28 years and honestly I think one of the main attractions that should be considered a must- visit is the Heritage Club. It introduces you to the entire history of the UAE and allows you to explore the its beautiful culture, Leaders, and its people also how they lived in a brief, compact and beautiful way. My favorite part of the visit is that you can actually see how Abu Dhabi was and how it is now. The entire Abu Dhabi towers skyline is seen and what an amazing and unforgettable experience. God Bless the UAE, leaders and its people. Happy 51st National Day to all my brothers and sistersof this great nation.
MoreAwesome place to visit, short tour and very Interested. Highly recommended
I visited Marina after about 15 years as know as i remember, back in those days perhaps i did not noticed such of this place, we noticed some tourists bus in parking lot (free parking at the time of this review December-2022so thought to stroll around and found this place is absolutely free entry, it has kinda small lovely museum of local artifact and photos, great photo spot for taking city skyline pictures in day or night and close to beach you can walk to from within this place, our kids enjoyed alot
MoreA lovely sample of Emirati history. Exhibits, a market, and a traditional environment. Lovely when there arent many people around (I visited on a Wednesday afternoon).I would have appreciated more signage as I couldnt find any source of food and drinks though I heard that there was a place that served them somewhere in the area.Recommend going, just bring a bottle of water!
MoreA pretty cool spot to learn more on how people lived before. It also has a good view of the skyline.
MoreLoved the place and environment. Food was okay not excellent. limited options and non veg is rationed (which I can understand). Overall try to leave on time if u want to enjoy all activities. The ride was also okay.
MoreFree entry. But was informed will closed at 4pm. So make sure to be there on time. Lots of cultural items and activities.
MoreIf you like history, and old culture, this is the place you must see.
Enough crowd at any one time and not overcrowded. If heritage and culture is close to your heart then this is a must see museum to have a nostalgic feel of what the Emirates heritage is all about.
MoreWan tonlearn some piece history of UAE, this place is good, just like a nmae, this place shiw you a history theres a museum, old hut, camel farm, and also art studio..and the entrance is free
MoreEmirates heritage village that entry fee is free in that we can see cultural of heritage spot even some history of traditional crafts and small museum in that the ancient guns and sword thats very nice. The view from the heritage village of Cornish beach is awesome even there are shops to buy some heritage things also they have make one small dessert village with cute Deer ,horse,camel that we can see there.
MoreA small place that provides a good insight on how the people from Abu Dhabi used to live and work. The views to the City are nice and you can see the artisans working. The museums could have better descriptions of the items that were exposed.
MoreVery nice place side seen with lovely sea
Entrance is Free. From Mondays to Thursdays they close the village at 3pm. Better to visit the place during Fridays, they close the village at 9pm. You can ride a camel for AED10. Some small museums are present inside. Also, they have a free use of toilet. You may also shop on some of their stores inside. Dont forget to take some photos with you.
MoreAll I have to say is that its a fine place to understand the History and Culture of Emirates, but there are better places to visit.
MoreWe went at night which is a good time to take pictures the good being sold were the same stuff sold in many shops around Dubai. Great place if you need IG content
MoreIts a place of collection of local products in a village environment.
Great place to see the arab old houses
One of best places to witness the heritage of the UAE.Easy access, no entry fee.
Good for a short visit and to learn more the local culture. The displays are rather dirty and not well maintained but entry is free and staff was friendly.
MoreOur tour guide brought us here instead of the much more interesting Emirates Palace which I really wanted to see. No fee or security at entrance. Didnt bother with any museums because all of them were underwhelming and boring. Got to take a picture with and touch a real camel though! Amazing view of the Abu Dhabi Corniche as well. Lots of lovely gardens and palm trees to sit under to enjoy the shade. If youre at the Marina Mall you might as well check it out, but otherwise its not worth your time.
MoreEntrance is free and the Heritage Village is a nice site with a friendly camel.
Interesting place with good sea views for photos. Take water with or go to marina mall as no kiosk or shop on site for drinks
MoreThis is a great way to experience the old life of the Emirati people. It expands your knowledge and helps you to understand why they live the way they do. Beautiful handcrafted materials. This is located in Abu Dhabi near the beach/marina. You need recent covid PCR to enter.
MoreOnly if you have extra time then it is worth it. Its free of charge, PCR is necessary to get it. The whole "town" is empty, not much to see or read, close to the beach
MoreWe enjoyed our walk around the exhibitsIt gave a flavour of the historical living arrangements of the people in the area.
MoreA panoramic view on the corniche area, with all its building, but in fact nothing great to do InsideYou have much better activities in Abu Dhabi before visiting the Emirates heritage place
MoreA visit is recommended, to learn more about how they have evolved. FREE ENTRY!They closed earlier during Ramadan (3pmbut I believe normal closed time is 4pm....see pictures. The site of the UAE flag is next door so I recommend a visit.Towards the rear of the centre, there is a Lovely sandy beach which you can deep you feet in, there are also sitting areas and toilets.A lovely view of Abu Dhabis tall buildings at the beach. Good photo ops! See pictures.
MoreThis is the average place which I have visited in abhu dabhi... For entry they asked for international vaccination certificate.. once we go inside we could see the old house where these people were staying..how they keeping their animals... What things they were using year by year.. and changes they have made during their tenure with the help of technology its all this things we can see here... There not much space for parking... Even ths sand which was there was too hot while walking so we can feel how these people were living their life and what they have made with this country..
MoreIf you want to know and see the past of UAE, you must visit this place. This is so beautiful place and you can see the history of UAE along with all old houses and cultures. The view from this place towards the city is very attractive.
MoreA good place to relax with Family. But can be crowded on the weekend. The best time to come is in the morning.
MoreA total flop with exception of the museum, view and Location. The only place where you see some real history is a tiny museum. All over It’s very dirty. The greenery looks bad. Typical tourist gift shops with cheap Made in China stuff. Besides that I feel bad for the poor cats which eat the leftovers of the tourists, the service is awful, they say it’s traditional food but it’s just warmed continental catering stuff. Really not recommending. I wanted to give it a try but there is a lot to do better there… sadly
MoreA small cultural heritage spot, with some history, traditional crafts, and a tiny museum. Compared to the grandeur you see around, its interesting that the place that showcases UAE history is so underwhelming.
MoreHeritage museum with deep dive into the culture and a beach with good view of the AbuDhabi landscape. Met some wonderful hospitable people.
MorePretty nice heritage village to get to know the culture of the Emirates a bit better. The village itself was pretty interesting but the museums in it were just boring. Anyway I would recommend you to go there.
MorePlace where you will be able to see the good collection of artifacts dates back to centuries. Entry is free and timings are from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. People interested in history should visit this place
MoreIts on Abu Dhabi Corniche side. The entry is free and very easy. You need to show Al Husn app if you are a resident of UAE and vaccination and Pcr certificate if you are tourist or a visitor.The heritage club reflects the culture of UAE. Its a small area but beautifully designed and managed.
MoreWonderful place to understand the past life and culture of Arab Emirates. Beautifully showcased the old architecture and living. We can understand them and their culture by visiting here. Good place to visit before summer hot breeze hits
MoreBeautifull small village. You can ride a camel, buy a souvenirs, taka a walk through the village, sit on the beach or swim. Anyway, its a nice place to visit when youre around.
MoreThe good:What I find particularly interesting is the reconstruction of traditional dessert houses here. Entry is free but do take note of the hours they close really early at 4pm on most days. Do not miss the Abu Dhabi skyline area nearby and also the UAE flag if you are around the area.The bad:There is nothing really interesting around here. Almost devoid of information boards to explain anything except in the musuem where there is at least the name of the object. You can probably walk the entire place in half and hour and be done with it.
MoreNice historical place need to visit and discover some of old life style in Middle EastIt was good time with family
MoreA nice place to step in the past and discover how the life was back then.Good addition to the city point of interest.
MoreVery wonderful and educational place! Not only we are able to take good pictures and seeing good sight, we also got many insights regarding to the history of the Emirates.
MoreGood place to learn about the culture and tradional emerati way of living. No entrance fees. Nice view of Abu Dhabi city from the beach on the back side. If you go here, bring your drinking water as there was no stores to buy it from. Hope they can change this. Otherwise, a good place to visit. Suggested time to spend in the area is 30-60 minutes.this was part of our itinerary. For all the history freaks around the World if you want to peep in the history of Arabs and Middle East, thou shall not be disappointed. As in this part of world everything is gigantic, so as the place and the artifacts.go down the lane for a beautiful spot which covers the skyline of Abu Dhabi and if youre lucky might see speed race happening and yes the sound is deafening
MoreReLly nice to see how the old way of living looked like in abu dabi, it’s a nice place where you can get a glimpse of the past. A lot of nice building And nice souvenirs for a good price, truly a recommendation if you are visiting Dubai. Everything is nice and clean. Good toilets and nice local people .
MoreDecent spot to visit. There is a beach, with some good views. There are several stalls and museums / exhibitions scattered around for you to visit and enjoy. Not much to spend a great deal of time, but enough for a flying visit. You can pick up souvenirs from here too, sometimes less than the average high street shop. There is a decent amount of parking just outside too.

MoreThis small village is so nice and lovely. The small handmade stores have good prices and a good selection. The staff is so friendly there. The museum is very interesting. The view over the skyline is amazing.

MoreA lovely place to just go around and know about Emirati culture. Nice place to chill during winter. The weather was pleasant and nice too sit under the trees overlooking the sea. The museum and all the handicrafts are a pleasure to see. Feel in love with the exquisite blow glass perfume bottles and glasses. Worth buying and would make excellent gifts for people from other countries.
