We visit this site 10 years ago and did it now for the 2nd time, it,s worth it and the whole area is very nice to explore.

It sounded like there was lots to do, camels, crafts people, nice 'old pictures' of Dubai and handcrafted souvenirs, but the place was deserted! We had a nice drink in the shade besides the creek and watched the dhows come in, but we were very disappointed with this attraction. We were there in the afternoon around 3pm; it's probably worth...

It was quiet - we went on a Friday. It doesn't open until later on a Friday - I think 3 ish... The buildings were nice and cool and you can eat afterwards by the water...
