Culture venueLocal favourite

Run by the Abu Dhabi Women's Association, a small museum plus round workshop huts where Emirati women weave al sadu, braid khoos palm fronds and embroider talli; some have done talli since childhood and teach it to younger women (The National). Few visitors find it because it sits inside a government complex.

Good to know

  • Take your shoes off before entering each hut and ask before taking photos (Visit Abu Dhabi).

  • The on-site shop sells the women's work, along with Arabian oils, incense and local dress.
