Tip from tour guide
If you're visiting Dubai with your family and seeking fun activities, consider visiting the Etihad Museum, just 15 minutes away from this hotel by car. This museum focuses on recounting the story of the founding of the UAE, situated at the very place where the country was established in 1971. Designed by Canada’s Moriyama & Teshima Architects, the museum is distinguished by its unique form, which mirrors the parchment paper of the Constitution. Seven rows of bronze columns imitate the shape and angle of pens in motion, symbolizing the act of writing that formalized the unification of the seven emirates.
