Etihad Museum

A modern museum telling the story of how the UAE was founded in 1971

Jumeirah 1.5 – 2 hours

About this place

Etihad Museum was built to tell the story of the founding of the United Arab Emirates, right next to Union House, where the union agreement was signed in 1971. Its roof is supported by seven columns inspired by the pens of the seven rulers who signed the agreement.

The exhibits focus on the years 1968–1974: original documents, passports, photographs and video recordings of the era are presented on interactive screens. Each of the founding fathers has a dedicated section.

It is a good starting point for understanding the Dubai of today — especially for anyone curious about how the city transformed in forty years.

Highlights

  • A roof with seven columns symbolising the seven rulers
  • Original union agreement documents
  • Interactive screens and period recordings
  • Right next to Union House

Before you go

  • Exhibits are in English and Arabic; for commentary in your language (English, Arabic or Turkish), visiting as part of a guided tour is more rewarding.
  • The Union House flagpole in the museum grounds is a great photo spot.
