Title: Fascinating Journey through History at Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House Review: I recently had the opportunity to visit Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House, and it was a captivating experience. The presentation and the abundance of historical information, accompanied by remarkable artifacts, truly impressed me. One aspect that stood out was the sound coming from the panels, which added an immersive element to the exhibits. It felt like stepping back in time as each panel unveiled unique stories and insights. However, I did notice some panels with similar narratives, which could benefit from more variety. Overall, Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House provides a remarkable journey through the history of Dubai and the ruling family. It is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in learning about the rich heritage of the region. I highly recommend it for a memorable and educational experience. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a very clean mosque on the main highway to Abu Dhabi. Almost 10,000 tourists visit there each day. A well managed place with proper instructions and staff to guide visitors. The have abayas available free of cost for the visitors with improper dress code, that means people who are not wearing ankle length trousers and half sleeves uppers atleast. There is a long way to walk from the check-in counters to the mosque entrance. Approx 1000 meters. Electric golf cars are available for visitors who cannot walk but they drop till the entrance of mosque. All the sightseeing need s to be done on foot. Photography is allowed in the mosque and it is famous for its single piece of carpet covering the entire 30000 sq feet area of mosque . A must visit place one you are in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. We covered it along with our visit to Ferrari world from Dubai. It is a 2-2.5 hours from Dubai city center.

I have to say that I expected more from this museum since it has several houses with some information, the lady at reception said that only two houses were closed when we visited we came across more than two closed houses, in total five houses, these museums have undergone some changes from what I have seen in previous reviews, as you can see in the photos these days it's all digital, I didn't have the experience of seeing how things used to be in real life, I give 2 stars because for the price you pay and the houses being closed it's not worth it. I'm disappointed with this place, I hope they improve it as soon as possible. I recommend that anyone who wants to visit wear comfortable shoes because there are several houses and you have to walk a bit. But quality in relation to price 0.

بني هذا البيت في عام 1896 في منطقة الشندغة، وقد اتخذ له مكاناً استراتيجياً في الجزء المنكسر من أعلى خور دبي فجعله متوسطاً بين قسمي ديرة وبر دبي ومطلاً على الخليج العربي، وكان مقراً لعائلة آل مكتوم الحاكمة حتى عام 1958، حيث كان مسكناً ومقراً لحاكم دبي آنذاك الراحل الشيخ سعيد آل مكتوم، وقد حفل البيت بمولد أبنائه وأحفاده الشيوخ. كما ويعتبر أيقونة سياحية تستقبل السواح والزوار على مدار السنة.

إضافة إلى إتاحة الفرصة للزائر للمعايشة والاطلاع على مسكن ومقر حاكم دبي في فترة النصف الأول من القرن العشرين، وما يتميز به من البساطة والاتساع، وتنوع أجنحته وفضاءاته (المغلقة، وشبه المفتوحة، والمفتوحة) وتعدد براجيله (الأبراج الهوائية)، فإن البيت حالياً يستخدم متحف لعرض تاريخ دبي، حيث تعرض فيه كمية نادرة ومتنوعة من الصور التاريخية للشيوخ وللحياة في دبي التي تغيرت بشكل جذري في الوقت الحاضر، كما وتعرض فيه مجموعة كبيرة ونادرة من الوثائق التاريخية والرسمية المتعلقة بإمارة دبي ، ونماذج أصلية من الحُلي والعملات والطوابع وغيرها مما يعود لتلك الفترة الزمنية، حيث تتوزع المعروضات على تسعة أجنحةً مكونة من تاريخ بيت الشيخ سعيد آل مكتوم، وعائلة آل مكتوم، ودبي القديمة، والحياة البحرية، ومناظر من دبي، والحياة الاجتماعية في دبي، والعملات والطوابع، والوثائق التاريخية، الخرائط.

إن زيارتك لبيت الشيخ سعيد آل مكتوم تمثل فرصة فريدة للتعرف على العديد من جوانب وتفاصيل الحياة والمجتمع التقليدي في دبي، كما ستطلعك الزيارة على طبيعة العلاقة الوشيجة الراسخة بين أسرة آل مكتوم الحاكمة وشعب دبي، حيث التشابه والانسجام والتقارب بين البيت وبين ما يجاوره من بيوت، وسهولة الاتصال المباشر من دون حواجز بين الناس وحكامهم، وهو ما يفسر استمرار هذه العلاقة حتى اليوم بين شعب دبي وحكامه، كما وتستطيع أن تستكشف في هذا البيت النموذجي العديد من القيم والأفكار المعمارية الخاصة بالتراث المحلي، حيث يبدأ ذلك بملاحظة أن جميع فتحات البيت الخارجية علوية وصغيرة، وأن مدخل البيت منكسر حيث يعترض الداخل حائط يضطره إلى الالتفاف والدخول بشكل غير مباشر إلى ساحة البيت المتسعة حيث تتوزع على أرجائها مختلف عناصر البيت العامة والخاصة، وهي جميعها معالجات تشير إلى الاهتمام بقيم الخصوصية، كما أن توجيه البيت –شأنه في ذلك شأن جميع بيوت منطقة الشندغة – ناحية الجنوب الغربي حيث إتجاه قبلة الصلاة إلى مكة المكرمة يشير إلى رسوخ القيم الدينية في المجتمع المحلي. وتشير ملاحظة وقوع مجلس الضيوف على يمين الداخل الى البيت إلى قيمة التيامن (أي تفضيل الجهة اليمنى واعتبارها جهة مباركة) والتفاؤل، كما أنك تستطيع أن تلاحظ أن موقع المطابخ –والذي من المفترض أن ينتج عنها الكثير من الأدخنة وروائح طهي الطعام للاحتفاء بالضيوف الذين لا ينقطع البيت عن استقبالهم- قد تم توضيعه في الجهة الجنوبية من المنزل، وذلك للاستفادة من نسيم البحر المتجه من الخليج الى عمق اليابسة في النهار للتخلص من تلك الأدخنة والروائح وتنقية جو البيت منها. إن زيارتك للبيت لن تخلو أبداً من اكتشاف الكثير من القيم والأفكار المعمارية الأخرى التي ستزيد من تقديرك واهتمامك بالتراث المحلي الذي يخفي تحت بساطته وتقشفه فلسفة ونظرة متفردة إلى الحياة لا غنى عن...
