Saeed Al Maktoum House, Historic residence in Al Shindagha, United Arab Emirates.

The residence spans 3,600 square meters with four wings, featuring traditional coral stone construction, wooden doors, and multiple wind towers for ventilation.

Built in 1896, this building served as the home of Dubai ruler Saeed bin Maktoum Al Maktoum until his death in 1958.

The museum contains nine exhibition wings displaying photographs, coins, stamps, marine artifacts, and documents that showcase Dubai's development through time.

The museum opens daily from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with modified hours on Fridays from 3:00 PM, and entry costs 3 AED for adults.

From the top floor, visitors can observe the contrast between historical Dubai Creek and modern skyscrapers that define the city's evolution.
