About Heritage Village
The Heritage Village on Abu Dhabi’s breakwater is a reconstruction of a traditional oasis village, with workshops, a small museum and skyline views.
Run by the Emirates Heritage Club, the village shows life before oil: a Bedouin tent, a falaj irrigation system, a souk, and workshops where craftsmen demonstrate metalwork, pottery, weaving and glass-blowing.
It sits on the Marina Mall breakwater with one of the best views back across the water to the Corniche skyline.
