Meta review

The fort is described as well-restored and the museum as interesting, a good insight into the history of this small emirate, including its local power feuds. The A/C gets the thumbs up.

Environmental & Social

Some carbon footprint from the A/C. Preserves the regional archaeological, architectural and historical heritages.

Conclusion

Another good small museum is the Eastern UAE with a slightly eclectic collection blending the personal, historical and archaeological. Most likely the best place to learn about the emirate of Umm Al Quwain

Key positive

Housed in a historical building

Low entrance fee

Key negative

Regional museum so the scope and depth are naturally limited
