  3. MAJLIS GHORFAT UMM AL SHEIF • Majlis Ghorfat Umm Al Sheif is a historical landmark located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is a traditional two-story house that holds significant cultural and historical importance in the region. The majlis, meaning "a place of sitting" in Arabic, was originally constructed in 1955 and served as the summer residence for Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the former ruler of Dubai. • The architecture of Majlis Ghorfat Umm Al Sheif reflects the traditional Emirati style with its wind towers, courtyards, and intricate woodwork. The interior of the majlis is adorned with beautiful carpets, traditional furniture, and artifacts that offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Dubai's ruling family. The upper floor of the house consists of living quarters, while the ground floor features a reception area and a majlis where the ruler would receive guests and hold important meetings. • Today, Majlis Ghorfat Umm Al Sheif has been transformed into a museum that showcases the rich heritage and history of Dubai. Visitors can explore the various rooms and learn about the customs, traditions, and lifestyle of the ruling family. The museum provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the Emirati culture and gain a deeper understanding of Dubai's evolution from a small fishing village to a global metropolis. Majlis Ghorfat Umm Al Sheif stands as a testament to the preservation of Dubai's heritage and serves as a bridge between the past and the present.
