Very nice place to visit.
Run by the Emirates Heritage Club, this reconstruction of a traditional oasis village provides an interesting glimpse into the emirate’s past.

Traditional aspects of the desert way of life, including a campfire with coffee pots, a goats’ hair tent, and a falaj irrigation system, are attractively displayed in the open museum.

There are workshops where craftsmen demonstrate traditional skills, such as metal work and pottery, while women sit weaving and spinning. The craftsmen are happy to share their skills, and may occasionally give you the chance to try them out.

The little spice shop is a treat – you can get a range of dried herbs, handmade soap and plenty of chatter.

Cool place to visit. Wish there was more than one food option on site Did not love the one that was there. Make sure you visit the shore line and dip your feet into the gulf. Crystal clear water.

An interesting mix of cultures here, parts of it offers an insight into the history of Abu Dhabi, a tranquil small beach (no swimming) with the fabulous view of downtown across the bay, a fascinating museum, several stalls selling assorted holiday type tat (IMHO). (Not sure why I’d choose here to buy my Dubai fridge magnet? ;-) ) All while overlooked by the iconic big flag. Definitely worth getting off the Bus if on Bus Tour. (Also has toilets here)

Go here for a serene evening. Surprisingly, the small beach is not crowded at all. The museum offers an interesting glimpse into the emirate's past and the small model farm is a pleasant surprise. Replicas of the small traditional houses of the Arabian peninsula takes you back in time when life in the region was different. It is easy to see how life was unsophisticated and uncomplicated. The enormous national flag flying in the background lends the whole place a great ambience.

From its name, I expected more of a cultural experience but it left a lot to be desired. The few shopping stalls had pretty much the same array of goods and the buffet restaurant wasn't great. Highlights was the museum and the tiny beachside.

We stopped for about 40 minutes on a tour and it was not enough. As mentioned there are areas showing how life was lived, trades and so on. There is enough to keep you occupied for an hour or more - especially if you visit the trades and talk to the people there - really very interesting.

Its a nice place to be in to know more about the early life style and culture of Abu Dhabi. This is not a very big place like Al Ain museum but it has all the small details what one is looking for.Heritage village is located near marina back water easily accessible by car or taxi and if you are going on weekends. i doubt there will be a scarcity of parking space as the place will be filled with lots of tourist buses. I suggest to plan your visit between 3:30 and 5:30 as its the opening hours on Fridays. If you are going by City bus get down at Marina mall and take a walk of about 10 minutes. Inside the village you will see tourists from all over the world and hardly a few locals. This place has got a small museum, a souq that makes handicrafts models of fisherman huts, a tomb( well don' get excited) and some boats and miniatures. There are some animals like ducks, cats and we even found a bunny there. and some cattle too. There is a small setting of a desert camp with a camel and you can enjoy the camel ride for 10 Dhs . Also there is a restaurant and some souvenir shops. Overall its a nice place to spend 2 hrs and to learn something different. Of course its worth a visit and the entry is free.. hurrah :-)

Huts and old style homes o display. Not much to see on that front. However there are few small shops and a restaurant on the beach. There is also a camel and a horse in display. Might be an interesting quick visit for the kids.

The Craftsmen are amazing. The village is fun and interesting. The souks have some lovely items for sale. I love the old fishing boats on the beach. It's my favorite view in Abu Dhabi.

The village was opened to the public in 1996 and is administered by the Emirates Heritage Club . It was intended to reflect the identity of the Emirati people and their traditional life in contrast with the fast growing modern life there. The village stretches on more than 1600 square meters. Its corners tell the story of the past through small models of all the everyday life details that the ancestors had had before oil.

In one corner of the village, you can see the life of the people who live by the sea and how they adapted to that kind of life. You can see the sea and how small local fishing boats were made. You can see lots of the see tools that were used in fishing. In another corner, you can see the farm life and how the ancestors used small canals for irrigation . If you move forward a little bit, you will see a traditional folk-market with some little shops of so many local handcrafts made of leather, wood, copper and glass.

Very unique. Almost seems a little fake but very entertaining. A must see in Abu Dhabi.
