Glimpses of UAE

History & Heritage

Although many people think the UAE has no history as it is a young country, there are archaeological sites dating back over 100,000 years and through the stone, bronze and iron ages.

Learn about the rich history and heritage in the many museums, visit the forts and watchtowers, shop at the restored souqs and tour the old merchant houses.
