Start Planning Your VisitThis platform presents cultural insights into museums, architecture, and artistic spaces across the United Arab Emirates. It focuses on knowledge, creativity, and preservation of heritage. Every section is crafted to support students, educators, and travelers who want a deeper understanding of the region’s evolving identity.
We gather programme highlights from each emirate, compile practical tips for navigating cultural districts, and share stories from artists, curators, and heritage guardians. Our goal is to make cultural exploration accessible, inspiring, and well-organised for any visitor.

The UAE’s commitment to culture and education has made it a hub of artistic dialogue between heritage and modern expression. From Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District to the creative studios of Sharjah, there is always a new exhibition, residency, or festival welcoming curious visitors.
Architectural icons such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Dubai’s Museum of the Future, and Sharjah’s Heart of the Emirate serve as anchor points for discovery. Heritage villages and restored forts provide a tangible link to traditional crafts, maritime history, and Bedouin storytelling.
Use our guides to map thematic journeys—architecture, heritage, contemporary art, or family learning— and combine them into a personalised cultural itinerary across the Emirates.
Review quarterly calendars featuring national holidays, art fairs, and heritage festivals. Discover when to catch pearl-diving demonstrations, calligraphy ateliers, or orchestral performances.
Tip: Many institutions publish family guides and educator packs in advance—check Museums and Family sections for downloads.
We surface accessibility information such as tactile tours, sign-language interpretation, prayer rooms, and quiet hours for sensory-friendly visits. Look for the accessibility badges next to venue descriptions.
