Housed in the cultural art district in old Dubai , the contrast of old Arab settlements and new sensibility in art and expression really dazzles. All art is created by local artists of UAE. The influence of arabic script , culture and traditions applied to european inspirations of color , technique and pop-craft. Sit in the patio and enjoy Goat milk desserts or laze in the majlis with traditionally embroidered cushions sipping Arabic coffee. Definite must visit for Offbeat Dubai !

Did a City tour that included Dubai Museum, very interesting and well displayed. It was not too crowded and it is definitely a place to see if you only have a few days in Dubai.

Dubai is a very commercial city and this little area gives you some real insight into the history and heritage of Dubai. Coffee Museum is conveniently located in the Heritage village - which as some has previously mentioned the taxi drivers will not have a clue about so best to get a taxi to Dubai museum and walk down. We spent a lovely hour wandering around reading about and looking at the different coffee contraptions. We then settled and had a coffee, watching the barista work his magic, he was very skilled and precise in his making of our coffee's. As coffee lovers we both thoroughly enjoyed this.
