Abu Dhabi - Heritage Village

Heritage Village is an authentic replica of a Bedouin encampment before oil wealth struck the area. Mud-brick houses, a traditional mosque, shopping in a traditional souq, taking a camel ride and watching a demonstration of the sport of falconry are highlights of the village.

Heritage Village is located in the center of Abu Dhabi providing living exhibits of the lifestyle and traditions of the Bedouin and other local cultures.

One exhibit recreates farming life in an oasis while another highlights the life of a coastal fisherman, trader or pearl diver. Visitors can sample a typical Bedouin meal and see displays of horsemanship and camel riding.
