Learning About UAE's Founder At The Zayed Heritage Center

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founding father of the UAE, a royal Emirati who, in 1971, united seven regions into the modern country it is today. There's a quasi museum, memorabilia, artifact repository devoted to his life and stuff.

Anything and everything. His blue Mercedes limo, some big game taxidermy and a giant portrait of the Sheikh, made from local stamps.

Important phones. Important bagpipes. The British were in the area for years, developing the petroleum industry.

Military training and the royal rifle.

Oil! Its discovery, in miniature. So cute, little trucks and oil rig. Golden drill bits. Maybe silver for placing?

Everyone loves men in uniforms. A gallery devoted to the police academy. Sure.
