Welcome to Part 2 of UAE Heritage Village, which is a reconstruction of a traditional desert village that you can visit for free. Do take a look at the
Part 1 should you miss it. As previously mentioned, I shall post some photos of more workshops and the two museums available there.
You can see adept craftsmen in action.

Ladies, do you fancy any of those bags? |
|
Seeing glassware always reminds me of my students who keep breaking stuff in the Chemistry lab. |
|
I was sold when I witnessed such vibrant colours all around the room. |
In front of one of the museums is a cannon brought from
Qasr al-Hosn.
Below are photos of some of the objects displayed inside the museum. There are many more to see.
|
I wonder how will I look in that traditional costume. |
|
Imagine wearing those accessories from the days of yore in public now. |
|
I'm not too sure if those are fossilised animals or merely models. |
|
Examining those writings from the past~ |
|
Those are old bank notes of some Middle Eastern countries. |
The other museum, which is smaller in size, showcases some of the prized belongings of a prominent figure that goes by the name Salem bin Ibrahim Al Saman.
|
Do look forward to a post on Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. |
|
My BFF and I had the museum to ourselves. |
|
In other words, the past, the present and the future are inextricably linked. |
Which of the following is your favourite artifact?
|
Anyone does archery? It's a sport that I've always wanted to try my hands at. |
|
The three wise monkeys! |
|
Some descriptions are written in Arabic only. |
|
How well do you know about gemstones? |
Asked to choose my most favourite attraction of UAE Heritage Village, I'd go for the desert area, which is featured in Part 1.
