One of the flourishing urban cities in the world is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates; Abu Dhabi. Serving as the seat of the government and centre of the nation’s administration, Abu Dhabi is fueled by its booming oil industry and thriving corporate sector. Abu Dhabi is also a popular tourist destination with many tourist attractions, iconic landmarks and many other exciting features. A luxury hotel that offers tranquil accommodation and many insightful Abu Dhabi excursions is the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara.
One of the most iconic figures in the history of the United Arab Emirates is Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Sheikh Zayed was the key personality behind the unification of the Emirates and the formation of the United Arab Emirates. His political career was full of successes, and his legacy and vision are deeply rooted in the growth and success of the United Arab Emirates. While he was a remarkable leader, Sheikh Zayed also firmly believed in the importance of tradition, education, and conservation. Thus, to honour Sheikh Zayed and uphold the values he held, the Zayed National Museum is to be established in 2016.
Sheikh Zayed strongly believed that the development of the United Arab Emirates was linked to upholding education, sustainability, conservation, humanitarianism, and faith in tradition and heritage. Thus, the Zayed National Museum, fittingly, is to depict the story of the Sheikh Zayed, his efforts in creating the United Arab Emirates, the history of the Arabian world, and the cultural impact the United Arab Emirates has had all over the globe. This museum, boasting breathtaking architecture which was inspired by the flight and wings of a falcon, will house seven exhibitions showcasing various artifacts and items depicting the life and times of Sheikh Zayed and the history of the Arab world and birth and transformation of the United Arab Emirates. Set to open to the public in 2016, the Zayed National Museum is set to showcase the legacy of Sheikh Zayed and his vision for the United Arab Emirates.
