The Zayed National Museum is one of the most meaningful places in Abu Dhabi to explore the story of the nation and the wider region. Named in honour of the UAE’s founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the museum brings together culture, heritage, history and the principles he championed. You will be taken on a journey through time, beginning nearly 300,000 years ago in the stone-tool era, before moving through a series of galleries featuring both permanent and temporary exhibitions. If you like to plan ahead, the museum website provides all the information you need before your visit. Facilities include a cloakroom, free Wi-Fi, ATMs and restrooms. When it comes to dining, the museum features a restaurant and three cafés set within Al Masar Garden. Before leaving, you can stop by Al Nagwa, the museum’s boutique, which offers jewellery and a selection of high-quality gifts.

This non-profit institution comprises many talented artists and sculptors who have been adding to the cache of contemporary art in the Hague since 1847. Whereas the studio started as a workshop where artists could come together and share their work with other artists, it now hosts around sixty exhibitions every year, which are open to members of the association and the public upon request. It is advisable to contact the studio for more information about memberships and guest access as some events are listed as members only whilst others are available for everyone to enjoy. The café/restaurant area is a good place to start as it is open to the public during the daytime.
