Heritage Village, Abu Dhabi
Located on the Corniche Breakwater near Marina Mall, Heritage Village is a family-friendly cultural attraction that offers visitors a glimpse into traditional Emirati life before the country’s rapid modern development. The open-air village recreates elements of a traditional desert settlement, including a souq, mosque, and Bedouin-style camp.
Visitors can explore traditional Emirati crafts, artefacts, and displays while observing artisans demonstrate skills that have played an important role in the region’s heritage. These include pottery, glassblowing, weaving, and other traditional crafts.
The village also features a traditional souq where visitors can browse handicrafts, spices, handmade products, and souvenirs. Its heritage displays and demonstrations provide an accessible introduction to the traditions and ways of life that shaped Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE.
Heritage Village is particularly suitable for families and visitors interested in Emirati culture, traditional crafts, history, and heritage. Its location on the Corniche Breakwater also makes it convenient to combine a cultural visit with other attractions around Abu Dhabi’s waterfront.
