A T. rex called Stan, skeletons so tall you have to tilt your head back, and a story that begins billions of years before Abu Dhabi existed. The Natural History Museum is one of Saadiyat's most absorbing venues, moving from the first stars and life on Earth to prehistoric animals that once roamed this region. Come for the dinosaurs, but leave time for the meteorites, the Abu Dhabi fossils and the enormous marine specimens. It's genuinely rewarding for adults, not just a clever way to entertain children.

★ WHAT WE'D DO

“Start with Stan and the prehistoric galleries before the crowds build, then work through the local fossils and the Murchison meteorite. Allow two to three hours rather than squeezing the museum between two other attractions.”

♥ LOCAL TIP

“Last entry is normally 45 minutes before closing, so leave enough time to explore the collection. Under-18s enter free, and free on-site parking makes it easy to combine a visit with another Saadiyat museum.”
