Great visit - The whole museum was very organised. I liked how the museum was modernised but still kept the traditional feel. The Emirati lady at the perfume house who showed us round close to closing time on 22 April was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything to us. Great visit, overall… I’ll definitely be going back!
