Dubai Museum
This is the perfect attraction for any history buff. Step inside the museum and you will be taken back in time through the artefacts that are displayed, including those that have been around for more than 4,000 years. In the underground, you can see a state-of-the-art display that showcases the rich history of the emirate. There are permanent and seasonal exhibitions as well.
Dubai Creek
This has a long history of being the centre of commerce and trading activities in Dubai. This used to be a popular destination for pearl diving and fishing. Today, the creek serves as the partition between two towns – Bur Dubai and Deira. The best way to experience this attraction is to ride a boat and simply revel in the beauty of its surroundings.
