Overview

On the Shindagha edge of Dubai Creek stands the former residence of Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai from 1912-1958 and grandfather of the present Ruler, Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. A historical attraction for visitors in Dubai, the late 19th-century Arabian architecture is appreciated by all. Built in 1896, the Sheikh Saeed House was once the seat of Dubai's local government. Today, tourists can observe a rare collection of historic photographs, coins, stamps and documents of Dubai's history inside the building.

        I hated Egypt and almost everything about it and do not want to ever have to go back. Dubai seems like a much nicer place but not if your not into high end supperfical entertianment( shopping, extravagant living)and if your trying to save $ or not have alot of $.

        Egyptby Yahoo | 2007-11-20 00:00:53 |

        Dubai Looks gorgious... But I've been to Egypt... if you did not like Cairo... you should go to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt because the only word I could explain it as would be Paradise.

        Good for history loversby Yahoo | 2006-12-01 19:09:37 |

        If you want some authentic history of Dubai, then this is the place for you. The one thing that I got from this visit is that it is a darn good thing that they found oil here, cause the land and the people did not have a ton to offer before its discovery. The house is filled with pictures and some pretty neat artifacts. It gets old a bit quick however and the novelty wears off after a bit, but if you couple this visit with a visit to the Burj Al Arab or some other new Dubai wonder, this is a great place to visit to see just how far they have come in the last 40 years.

        Not the best, but okby Yahoo | 2006-11-12 10:10:34 |

        Dubai is OK to visit. Pricy, superficial, and not a lot of locak culture....but better than Egypt. WAY better than Egypt. Egypt is ugly and dirty, as a country. Only the pyramids are nice.
