Kind of the Williamsburg of the UAE. The Heritage Village is a quasi reconstruction of a typical, old Middle Eastern desert village. At least that's the layout.
C'mon in, check out the mud buildings, artisans, history.
There's a small museum that's devoted to handicrafts and old industries. Diving for pearls was a thing. Old sorting baskets.
A section of the museum is devoted to old, traditional dress and grooming. Long beard and head covering. Solemn.
Feet, left bare. Might want to go get a toe touch up. Women, of course, must cover up, at least with a cool, intricate leather mask of sorts.
In another part of the village, a group of artisans still practice classic traditional crafts. The master wood carver.
