Very interesting place

Level 22 Local Expert

An interesting place for coffee connoisseurs. The museum is small, but it contains a lot of interesting things: coffee grinders from different countries and eras. Coffee roasting machines, coffee machines, books, etc. Here you will be treated to Arabic coffee made on the sand. You can also get acquainted with the oriental culture of coffee and tea. It's quite interesting to take a look. The entrance is 10 dirhams, so why not take a look ☺️

It's a very atmospheric place. You can see exhibits such as coffee grinders from different regions, produced more than 100 years ago, various devices for processing beans and making coffee. They also serve ready-made coffee (small shots). There is various literature about coffee, informative posters. For those who are interested in the culture of coffee production and consumption, it will be very interesting.

The historical quarter, the museum is small, but interesting and stylish: the history of coffee, antique coffee grinders, cezve, tableware, etc. You can try different coffees, including Arabic with dates. It's nice to walk along the narrow streets next to the museum.

A very small, cozy private museum, consisting of 2 rooms on the ground floor with coffee grinders and roasting devices, and 3 rooms on the 2nd floor, telling about the origin of coffee and showing artifacts related to coffee in the Middle East. Local coffee is served at the entrance and exit - very weak, in very small cups. It's worth a visit if you have the time. Admission is 10 dirhams.

The museum is interesting. There are a lot of old things that somehow come into contact with the delicious aroma of the drink. Arabic and Ethiopian coffee are offered at the entrance. Admission is 10 dirhams. We didn't have enough stories from the guide in Russian - we didn't understand how to book a tour)

So, imagine: I'm sitting in a luxury limo with gold handles, driving around Dubai, and suddenly my driver, whom I call the Sheikh Driver, says, "Sir, do you want to see something that is not shown to tourists?" Of course, I agreed, because when you are offered something in Dubai, refuse — It's like saying no to a camel that offers you a ride. And so we arrive at the Coffee Museum in Dubai. Yes, yes, you heard right. This is not the Burj Khalifa, not a water park, or even a gold market where you can buy everything from a gold iPhone to a gold one... Well, basically, everything. This is a coffee museum, a place where coffee has been elevated to a cult, and baristas feel like alchemists creating an elixir of vivacity. The exhibition begins with the history of coffee, which, as it turned out, did not begin with your morning cup, but in ancient Yemen. By the way, coffee was considered so important there that a hand could be cut off for stealing the beans. Can you imagine if such laws were in force now? The offices would be empty, and the baristas would become the most guarded people on the planet. But the most interesting thing is the tasting. You are offered to try coffee from different countries, and each taste is like a journey. Here you are in Ethiopia, where the coffee is so rich that it seems it can even wake up a pharaoh. And here you are in Colombia, where the coffee is so soft that it seems to have been brewed to the sound of guitars and birdsong. And then you realize that coffee is not just a drink, it's an art. The baristas in the museum are like magicians who turn grains into masterpieces. One of them even showed me how to make latte art in the shape of a camel. True, I got something between a camel and a dinosaur, but the barista said, "The main thing is diligence!" In general, the Dubai Coffee Museum is a place where you will not only learn the history of the drink, but also feel like a part of something bigger. And there is also a souvenir shop where you can buy coffee, which, as promised, "will awaken the lion in you." I bought a pack, but so far the lion in me is just yawning. And that's where the fun begins. When I was about to leave, an elderly Arab in traditional clothes came up to me and said, "Young man, I see you are a true coffee connoisseur. Let me give you this." He handed me a small bag of grains. I thanked him, of course, but he added, "Just be careful. This coffee is special. He can change your life." I laughed, but decided to make this coffee at home. And do you know what happened? The next morning, I woke up at 5 a.m. without an alarm clock, full of energy and ideas. I wrote a business plan, learned Arabic, and even started running in the morning. Now I think that this old man was not just a coffee lover, but a real magician. So if you're in Dubai, be sure to check out the coffee museum. Who knows, maybe you'll be lucky enough to meet your coffee guru. But I warn you, your life won't be the same after that. And yes, take a bag of beans with you — suddenly you will also be given a magic coffee!

Informative. It allows you to circumvent other knowledge, apparently, available to every coffee lover about coffee: where it grows, who supplies it, how it is packaged, where and how they prefer to prepare a drink. Vessels for drinking and making coffee are richly represented. There are several small museums nearby (for example, the national knife), several souvenir shops (new models for the local flavor, as it was in Dubai in the mid-90s)
