Bur Dubai - Heritage and Diving Village

The Heritage and Diving Village displays pearl diving and dhow building, two of old Dubai 's economic mainstays. Another area of the villages re-creates traditional Bedouin and coastal village life, with Persian homes, a traditional coffeehouse and a small Souq. Dubai's architectural, cultural and maritime heritage is showcased. Potters and weavers practice their handicrafts at the stalls set up in the Heritage Village.

Local music and dance are performed from October to April and visitors can get advice from practitioners of traditional medicine.

The Diving Village exhibits pearl diving displays highlighting Dubai's significance as a pearling nation - before the cultured pearl was introduced.
