Unlock the mysteries of the Iron Age at the Saruq Al-Hadid interactive museum, the first of a series of new museums set to transform the historical district of Dubai into a rich cultural zone.

The museum delves into the mysteries of the Iron Age through findings from an archaeological site on the edge of the Rub Al-Khali desert - discovered by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum while flying his helicopter.

Since then historians and archaeologists have been unearthing thousands of iron tools, stoneware, bronze pots, precious beads, gold jewellery and fossils âÂÂ now on display at the museum.

Translating to "the Way of Iron", the Saruq Al-Hadid museum showcases the era of metalworking âÂÂpreserved in their original condition. The interactive exhibition will be continuously refreshed as the archaeological site unearths new findings. Visitors can even carry out their own dig in a simulated archaeological excavation.
The museum invites visitors to get involved and discover the mysteries of the Iron Age. Kids can follow the gallery trails to explore the milestones and build their own understanding of the era.
Located in the historic Shindagha district of Dubai, it offers the perfect reason to spend a day in old Dubai. Combine it with a traditional Abra ride across the creek or a visit to the souks.

Saruq Al-Hadid Museum is irrefutable proof that new discoveries are still being unearthed today.
