<\/p>\n
The House of the Horses was built to commemorate and honor one of Dubai\u2019s closely guarded prides – their horses, who carry fewer burdens compared to camels \u2013 another much-loved animal in Dubai, but are extremely lively. Formerly considered the official dwelling of the late Sheikha Moza bint Saeed Al-Maktoum, this monument was erected in the early 1940s and is now renovated into a cult museum wherein information about horses are provided \u2013 including their uses in early civilizations, ancestral trees, names of famous horses and the significance in Arabian culture is explained. The House of the Horses is located in the Al-Shindagha vicinity of Dubai, where the House of Camels is also housed.<\/p>\n
House of the Camels<\/strong><\/h4>\nWhen compared to the otherwise ancient heritage sites in Dubai, the House of the Camels, popularly known as the \u201cBeit Al-Rekkab\u201d in Arabic, is comparatively modern and like the House of the Horses, is constructed in the 1940s. The structure is hugely important to the Arabs because it symbolizes and honors camels \u2013 the pride of the UAE. Tourists will be directed to the museum enshrined in the building, wherein they will obtain first-hand information about the camels of the desert \u2013 knowledge about various species, what they are referred to in Arabic, their physical components and their importance in Arabian culture. The House of the Camels is situated in the same vicinity as the House of the Horses, next to Sheikh Saeed\u2019s House in Al-Shindagha.<\/p>\n
