The Heritage Village on the Breakwater is a reconstructed traditional Emirati settlement offering a glimpse of life in the region before the oil era, with a fort, a mosque, a souk, and workshops where craftspeople demonstrate weaving, pottery and metalwork. Set beside the water with views across to the modern skyline, it provides a striking contrast between old and new Abu Dhabi. Free to enter, it is a pleasant and educational place to learn about the emirates heritage.
