Situated in an island with well connected bridges to the mainland, Heritage Village was designed with the intention of providing knowledge of the heritage and history of the Gulf region. Exhibits in the village include mud brick houses, displays of Bedouin culture before the region struck oil, traditional souqs, old fishing villages, and a mosque. Visitors are provided with the opportunity of riding a camel and watching demonstrations of Falconry which is a traditional Arab sport. The traditional Bedouin lifestyles of farmers, fishermen, traders and pearl divers are depicted in a manner that provides a clear understanding of the agricultural and trading system that prevailed in ancient Abu Dhabi. In addition Heritage Village also features workshops that demonstrate pottery, weaving and metal work and visitors are occasionally allowed to experience these craft work on their own. Containing the tombs that are over 4000 years old is the Hili Gardens which is located inside the village adding to its heritage value.
