Today was Learn About Dubai Day! After the mosque, we headed over to the museum to learn all about the history of Dubai, the UAE and how people survived in the desert before all of the fancy skyscrapers.
Three of their biggest money makers revolved around the sea, obviously. They fished, built fishing boats, and dove for pearls. The pearl divers went on 50 three-minute dives per day! Holy man.
Their boats are beautiful, too!
So excited!
EVERYTHING is beautiful here!
It's hard to tell with the giant glare, but these two lovely skeletons were found holding hands. It's how they used to bury husbands and wives to show their eternal love. That'll be Casey and me someday :)
The museum was informative and very well executed, and that's pretty much all I have to say after the super long mosque post.
