Demonstrating the traditions and lifestyles of the cultures native to the charming Arabian Peninsula, Abu Dhabi Heritage Village brings a glimpse into how the region was before the discovery of oil transformed it into a pool of wealth. This can be visited by basing yourself at a centrally positioned hotel Abu Dhabi has to offer. Kingsgate Hotel Abu Dhabi is one such hotel in Abu Dhabi. More of an open-air museum, Heritage Village is best visited in the morning. You can witness how local craftsmen conduct workshops in weaving, spinning, pottery and traditional metalwork. You also get the opportunity to learn about the age-old falaj irrigation system.
