​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Life By The Coast

Discover how the coast shaped life in Dubai through our weekend programs designed for the family and young children. Learn more about the lives of fishermen, pearl divers, traders and sailors as well as how the sea influenced life on land at the hestoric Al Shindagha neighbourhoud and continues to do so today.
