Coffee Museum

Historical Neighborhood, Bastakiya، Villa 44 - Al Hisn St - Al Souq Al Kabeer - Al Fahidi - Dubai - United Arab Emirates

Museum dedicated to the history of Arabic coffee and qahwa culture, in a restored wind-tower house.

This guide to the Coffee Museum in Al Fahidi traces the word qahwa from a Yemeni monastery legend to the ritual of Arabic coffee served across the Gulf today. You'll hear about the wind-tower house it's housed in, the trade route that carried beans north from Yemen's port of Mocha, and the UNESCO recognition of qahwa as a shared cultural heritage. It follows collector Khalid al Mulla, who opened the museum in 2014 after years gathering antique grinders and roasters.
