Heritage Village Abu Dhabi
This is a glimpse of Abu Dhabi before the towers and supercars. Heritage Village recreates a traditional settlement with palm-frond buildings, small workshops, a souk and displays on the emirate’s past. Watch artisans at work when demonstrations are running, then head to the waterfront for one of the city’s most striking skyline views. It’s compact and a little old-fashioned, but that is part of its charm.

What to expect
- 01Traditional souk, craft workshops and historic UAE artefacts
- 02Free entry on the Corniche Breakwater near Marina Mall

“Visit the craft workshops and traditional souk first, then look through the historical exhibits. Finish at the shoreline with a panoramic view of Abu Dhabi’s modern skyline beyond the village.”
“Allow around an hour, more if craft demonstrations are taking place. They are not guaranteed throughout the day, so the workshops can be quiet between sessions. Fridays have a midday closure. The waterfront view back towards the city is worth the short walk even if you are not planning to shop.”
