Excellent place to visit with family or friends. Great rides, places to eat and very clean. Almost all the required protocols are over there, you can also find a clinic and pharamcy over there for emergency purposes.Its also great for kids, many fun activities and rides available.I specifically enjoyed VR games.There are fireworks around 10pm, its worth watching. We have been there twice and enjoyed both time. Our toddler also had fun time.If you like visiting Global Village Dubai then you will like it too.

Good place to learn about the culture and tradional emerati way of living. No entrance fees. Nice view of Abu Dhabi city from the beach on the back side. If you go here, bring your drinking water as there was no stores to buy it from. Hope they can change this. Otherwise, a good place to visit. Suggested time to spend in the area is 30-60 minutes.this was part of our itinerary. For all the history freaks around the World if you want to peep in the history of Arabs and Middle East, thou shall not be disappointed. As in this part of world everything is gigantic, so as the place and the artifacts.go down the lane for a beautiful spot which covers the skyline of Abu Dhabi and if youre lucky might see speed race happening and yes the sound is deafening

A lovely place to just go around and know about Emirati culture. Nice place to chill during winter. The weather was pleasant and nice too sit under the trees overlooking the sea. The museum and all the handicrafts are a pleasure to see. Feel in love with the exquisite blow glass perfume bottles and glasses. Worth buying and would make excellent gifts for people from other countries.

Wonderful piece of art and history of Emiratis early life, relationship with the world and civilization, nice place.

Review №10

The good:What I find particularly interesting is the reconstruction of traditional dessert houses here. Entry is free but do take note of the hours they close really early at 4pm on most days. Do not miss the Abu Dhabi skyline area nearby and also the UAE flag if you are around the area.The bad:There is nothing really interesting around here. Almost devoid of information boards to explain anything except in the musuem where there is at least the name of the object. You can probably walk the entire place in half and hour and be done with it.

ReLly nice to see how the old way of living looked like in abu dabi, it’s a nice place where you can get a glimpse of the past. A lot of nice building And nice souvenirs for a good price, truly a recommendation if you are visiting Dubai. Everything is nice and clean. Good toilets and nice local people .

Review №12

An interesting mix of cultures here, parts of it offers an insight into the history of Abu Dhabi, a tranquil small beach (no swimming) with the fabulous view of downtown across the bay, a fascinating museum, several stalls selling assorted holiday type tat (IMHO). (Not sure why I’d choose here to buy my Dubai fridge magnet? ;-) ) All while overlooked by the iconic big flag. Definitely worth getting off the Bus if on Bus Tour. (Also has toilets here)

Review №13

Decent spot to visit. There is a beach, with some good views. There are several stalls and museums / exhibitions scattered around for you to visit and enjoy. Not much to spend a great deal of time, but enough for a flying visit. You can pick up souvenirs from here too, sometimes less than the average high street shop. There is a decent amount of parking just outside too.

Review №14

I have to say it could improved a lot in this place. Nothing really special in this park. Except the beach area is a great spot to take a photo.Regarding the historical part didn’t show too much description only some building and a small museum.You can spend maximum 1 hour here.

This is a must visit place for all those who come to Abu Dhabi. We can know about the culture and tradition of UAE if we visit here. Although its open from morning, its advisable to visit afternoon as its not really hot at that time. But in winters you can visit the place any time of the day. You will also be able to go to beach nearby the heritage village. The view of Abu Dhabi from the beach is really dashing.

Huts and old style homes o display. Not much to see on that front. However there are few small shops and a restaurant on the beach. There is also a camel and a horse in display. Might be an interesting quick visit for the kids.

Cool place to visit. Wish there was more than one food option on site... Did not love the one that was there. Make sure you visit the shore line and dip your feet into the gulf. Crystal clear water.

Beautiful place. A must visit in your Dubai Itinerary. It was however very hot when we visited in early October 2018. The recommended months are mid October to March. Carry your sunscreen and always remember to carry lots of drinking water. BTW, drinking water is expensive, and its no joking matter.

Small museum with a small area for shopping. It seemed to me that 2 hours is about the right amount of time to be there.Nothing out of the ordinary and I would not say it is kids friendly.

Nice serene atmosphere. You can sit along the beachfront and admire the picteresque promenade studded with sky scrapers. There are some self serve vending machines supplying standard juices and snacks which can be used to purchase. Many benches placed along the walkway to sit and have your quiet moments.

Very touristy and crowded. But I can recommend it for a nice scenic view on the skyline with a beach vibe. Besides this there is nothing really interesting to see. If you do not come here you are not missing out on anything. Plenty of other nice attractions in Dubai!

Stunning views of the Abu Dhabi skyline, but a bit too hot in summer! Great place to get an idea of local Arab handicraft. Get close and personal with a camel! No rides during extreme heat. The place was upgraded since our last visit 15years ago. Lots of tour busses!

I didnt not find it particularly interesting here. There are some antique shops and stuff you can just checkout. Other than that it was a bit underwhelming considering the awesome sights and places I had experienced in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for that past one week

I would recommend a visit to the heritage village to catch a glimpse of how life used to be in the desert. I never knew that different types of tents were used to live in the desert. Such things and more can be seen there.

A very disappointing tourist attraction. At least there is now cover! It’s a pity with how little pride and love to detail the heritage is presented here. A disappointing experience. When you think about the splendor and luxury at the big hotels at the Louvre, at the airport and all over the city -it’s a shame that not more effort and love is put into this showcase of history and heritage.

Review №66

The location is good. Its in abu dabi..... The good thing is you can see the skylineof Abu Dabi.... And watch the beach. Click photos... But heritage wish again its jus small huts showing life of ancient people of dubai. Nothing great or facinating..... Like gold smith, crockery, carpet making, glass hookas.... Jus general.... Its peaceful but.... , do carry warm clothes coz its breezy...

It was not easy to find it. As there is no name in English. And I was looking for Heritage Village. The name in Arabic language is not an easy one for me.The village was quite interesting. And my kids were able to ride a camel and enjoyed this a lot.There is a great skyline Abu Dhabi view as well.

Are you in UAE, you must have to visit Heritage Village. The village is located in the break water area where the biggest flag of UAE located ,You will learn every cultural life, style of living, custom, early days history, value of Emiratis, so and so. The village organized as the same way of the old generation how dealing with daily activities.A wonderful spot to understand from the Emirates start and riced where with there values.

Review №70

Peek into the past of the region, by visiting the Heritage village. This would be an entirely unique experience, where you would learn the desert way of life.A souk, a mosque and encampment will take you back in time, making this one of the topmost attractions in Abu Dhabi Corniche.Since Entry is free, this is also one of the best free things to do at the Abu Dhabi Corniche. So you won’t feel guilty spending some cash on the gift shop where craftsmen showcase tremendous skills.
