Opened in 2017, the Etihad Museum in Dubai tells the story of the emergence of the United Arab Emirates. It is also referred to as the Emirates Museum or the UAE Museum. Etihad is a tribute to the seven founders of one of the richest countries in the world. The building has an area of 25,000 sq. m. and includes eight pavilions with permanent exhibitions. Its exposition presents documentaries, photographs, artifacts and interactive maps demonstrating key events on the way to the formation of a new state.

The building is an architectural and engineering marvel. It confidently straddles the past and the future, applying advanced technology to traditional artforms. The building ‘speaks Arabic’: its facade is a canvas for the poetry of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum rendered in the calligraphy of Mattar bin Lahej.The building’s form is futuristic: it opens a new path away from the highrise towers that dominate skylines everywhere. Its form is symbolic: The circular building represents humanity; the green mound it sits atop represents the earth; the void represents the unknown future.The Museum builds on the visionary culture that has transformed the UAE into one of the world’s most advanced nations in less than 50 years.

The Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most loved architectural treasures and tourist attraction in Dubai. Opened in 1979, Jumeirah Grand Mosque was a gift from the Late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the former Ruler of Dubai and father of the current Ruler of Dubai HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
