• 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: 3/10, At the time of my visit there weren't any staff in the museum, only the guy at the entrance. I had some questions about the history of some stamps but no information has been provided about the matter.
• General Atmosphere: 10/10, The place is filled with a lot of cool stamps to discover. Each room has its own collection and you’ll definitely find stamps that you haven’t seen before. The museum has an old-fashioned interior which adds to the overall experience.
• Cleanliness: 5/10, Surprisingly, the stamp rooms were poorly maintained, even the lights were turned off at the time of my visit. However, the main hall was mostly clean and neat.
• Handicap Accessibility: 3/10, To get inside the museum is easy, however entering the rooms might be hard for a wheelchair since most of them have a small staircase leading to the rooms with small entrances. At the time of my visit, I didn’t see any ramps that would have made it easier.
•• Total score •• 21/50, Very interesting stamps collection. Very poor maintenance to the place.
[Pros and Cons]
• Pros:

Bring together Philatelists in the UAE with the objective to exchange ideas and stamps.

Your one stop shop for all Philatelic collection. Commemorative stamps issued by Emirates Post are chosen with special care.

For a stamp collector who affectionately recalls the large, colourful (but postally useless) issues of the Trucial States days -- a worthwhile place to visit. No entrance fee. Part of the Al Fahidi historical district.

It is nice to visit even if you are far from being excited of stamps. There is nice inner yard with a view.

Good Stamps Museum. Described the history of the Stamps and Dak specially of Arab States and Dubai in particular and of the world in general.

It's an awesome place, but it needs attention. There's a dearth of air conditioning system and proper lighting.

Great place to learn about the philately side of Emirates. Free entry but closes early.

A small house depicting the history of stamps in Dubai and other emirates.

You don't get to see any stamp collections.
