Lonely Planet review for Heritage & Diving Villages

On the Shindagha waterfront, the Heritage and Diving Villages are outdoor museums intended to acquaint tourists with the region’s traditional arts, customs and architecture. This is where you can nibble on piping-hot dosas (paper-thin lentil-flour pancakes) made by burka-clad women, pose with a falconer, hop on a camel or browse around touristy souqs. Alas, the villages are usually pretty quiet year-round, except during Eid celebrations and the Dubai Shopping Festival, when unusual traditional activities such as rifle-throwing competitions bring in the curious.
