Explore and Learn About All 21 Homes in the Al Shindagha Museum

Your admission ticket grants you access to the Al Shindagha Museum and all of its working facilities. There are a total of 21 houses that tell the story of Emirati culture. Explore The Al Maktoum House to learn about the humble beginnings of this metropolis and its progressive ascent, particularly under the rule of His Highness Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, the former ruler of Dubai. The Al Maktoum Mansion is surprising, full of historical information and human anecdotes that bring the royal family's personalities to life. Apart from that, the other houses also beautifully portray the social, religious, traditional, and economic journey of the nation's proud Emirati culture.

The Traditional Craft House

The houses in this large museum meet the preferences of tourists across a broad spectrum. Those who enjoy art and crafts, for instance, should treat themselves to a trip to the Traditional Craft House. You can find handicrafts here as well as examples of time-honed techniques for producing ceramics, kitchenware, textiles, and jewelry out of solely conventional materials. The clearest illustration of this is how the date palm, sometimes known as the Tree of Life, was used to create beautiful and inventive products.

The Perfume House

This house was intriguing because it was also the former home of the late Sheikha Shaikha bint Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, a famous perfume maker, and the aunt to ’s current ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This House bears witness to the long-standing role of perfume-making in Emirati culture. Other houses like Beauty and Adornment, Traditional Jewelry, Traditional Healthcare, Community Hall, and the Children’s House, all reflect the many different shades of Dubai and its rich heritage.
