Saruq Al-Hadid Archaeological Museum

Arab tribes existed in the Iron Age thousands of years ago. The desert they trudged through was not dissimilar to what we see today. The mystery of this tribe's way of life is finally solved as we discover a rich archaeological site on the edge of the Rub Al-Khali desert. The archaeological site was actually discovered by Sheikh Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum during a helicopter ride. Since then, historians and archaeologists have unearthed thousands of iron, stone, bronze pots, precious beads, gold jewelry, fossils, and more. You can see these ancient artifacts at the Hadid Archaeological Museum (Saruq Al Hadid Museum). Located in Dubai's Shindagha district, the museum creates an immersive experience through interactive displays and short video clips. Visitors can even take part in a simulated archaeological excavation game, dig for treasure with their own hands, or fly a drone!
