• Parking spots availability: 0/10, There are no parking spots designated to this museum. You will have to park outside of Al Fahidi District and walk there.
• Staff Expertise: 5/10, Staff were very polite, but very little information or guidance was provided at the time of my visit.
• General Atmosphere: 10/10, Fascinating coin collections from multiple eras. Each room will have a special collection based on a specific era, or a geographical location. Each room is filled with information about the coins along with their dates and materials. Make sure to check all of the rooms on both floors.
• Cleanliness: 7/10, For a museum, I’d say it was decent but it might need a little bit more care inside the rooms. Some of them are a bit dusty.
• Handicap Accessibility: 5/10, The 1st floor is accessible by a wheelchair. However, it might be hard to get to the 2nd floor since it’s only accessible via a narrow staircase.
•• Total score •• 27/50, A very interesting museum, needs some work to be perfect.

This small museum was worth a visit. There is an interesting collection of coins from different regions and time periods. There are informative plaques to give context to the displays. There was no entry fee. There are benches to sit in if your feet are tired from walking around in the area.

Intresting experience exploring the coins that had been using by the Islamic sultanate and khaliph empire.

It's pretty much a historic place to visit, where they displayed coins that were used back in the century. There's no need to buy a ticket or book a time as such, it's walk-in and free to visit. The location of this place could be confusing, ask the security for directions or search the location on Google Maps in advance. Overall it's a decent place to visit if it's your first time.

Visitors can browse through eight rooms and see various coins that have been used in Dubai through the ages, as well as discover the close links between the monetary systems of the former British Empire, India and other countries.
Opened in 2004, the museum is housed in a traditional Arabian building constructed of coral, stone, plaster, sandalwood, and the leaves and trunks of palm trees. The structure itself offers an intriguing glimpse into the past that shows how early inhabitants lived in one of the city’s most bustling

This part of Dubai is another hidden treasure. Great olden buildings and narrow walk ways. Shows the Dubai of the past.
