What to expect

Heritage Village is a family-friendly spot to experience the traditional way of life in the desert. The village is an immersive time capsule, with an old-world souk, mosque, and camp modelled on life in pre-modern UAE. Visitors can shop, discover artefacts, and watch artisans make pottery, blow glass, and weave fabric on a loom. The village is also home to the Emirates Heritage Club, which hosts workshops for traditional crafts. A small souk offers handicrafts, local spices, traditional attire, and souvenirs. The village provides a glimpse into Abu Dhabi's past and is a great place to learn about the region's heritage and culture
