UAQ National Museum, Emirate of Umm Al Quwain, United Arab Emirates

4.0 (29 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Umm Al Quwain Speciality Museums

Unexpected treasure

We stopped here on our way to a staycation at Vida Beach Resort. The UAQ National Museum is only 5 minutes away from the hotel. The entry fee is only 5AED per person, however they only accept cash and have limited change so please try to take the correct money. The Fort is very well preserved and gives you a sense of the Emirates history. Friendly staff and not very busy. Perhaps I'm being harsh, however rated 4 stars as some more explanation of the history is needed and the exhibitions are fairly small. Would definitely reccomend a visit and you only need 30mins to see the whole Museum.

    A good place to experience the realities of the Emirates from decades past.
    This museum was not on any of the tours from the tour company, but I had a private driver for the day, and asked to be taken there. Well worth a visit. You get a feel of the emirate from decades past, and there are good historical displays there. Umm al Quwain should be more prominent on the tours offered by various tour companies - it is well worth a visit.

    Same place as the UaQ fort
    Not often opened but was lucky one Saturday- no one else around. Well restored fort kept in good condition. Interesting history of feuds in UaQ.
